Action Types
The following action types are available in Autodesk Navisworks:
Play Animation - action specifies which animation to play back when
a script is triggered.
Stop Animation - action specifies which currently playing animation
to stop when a script is triggered.
Show Viewpoint - action specifies which viewpoint to use when a script
is triggered.
Pause - enables you to stop the script for a specified amount of time before
the next action is run.
Send Message - action writes a message in a text file when a script is
triggered.
Set Variable - action assigns, increases or decreases a variable value when
a script is triggered.
Store Property -action stores an object property in a variable when a
script is triggered.
This can be useful if you need to trigger events based on embedded object
properties or live data in a linked database.
Load Model - action opens a specified file when a script is triggered.
You may find it useful if you want to present a selection of animated scenes
contained in a range of different model files.
