Event Types
The following event types are available in Autodesk Navisworks:
On Start - event triggers a script as soon as scripting is enabled. If scripting
is enabled when a file is loaded, then any start events in the file will be
triggered immediately. This is useful for setting up the initial conditions
of your script, such as giving initial values to variables, or moving the
camera to a defined start point.
On Timer - event triggers a script at predefined time intervals.
On Key Press - event triggers a script with a specific button on the
keyboard.
On Collision - event triggers a script when the camera collides with a
specific object.
On Hotspot - event triggers a script when the camera is within a specific
range of a hotspot.
On Variable - event triggers a script when a variable meets a predefined
criterion.
On Animation - event triggers a script when a specific animation starts
or stops.
Event Conditions
Events can be combined with a simple Boolean logic. To create an event
condition you can use a combination of brackets and AND/OR operators.
The brackets and logic operators can be added by right-clicking an event, and
selecting the option from the shortcut menu. Alternatively, you can click in
the corresponding field in the Events view, and use the drop-down list to
select the desired option.
NOTE If you have more than one event in your script, by default the AND operator
will be used. This means the script only runs if all events have occurred.
