Capture Keyframes
New keyframes are created by clicking Capture Keyframe
on the
Animator toolbar. Every time you click this button, Autodesk Navisworks
adds a keyframe of the currently selected animation set, camera, or section
plane set at the current position of the black time slider.
Conceptually, keyframes represent relative translations, rotations and scaling
operations from the previous keyframe or, in the case of the first keyframe,
the models starting position.
