soon as you open a new Autodesk Navisworks file, or start a new Autodesk
Navisworks session.
Collision Select this check box to define a viewer as a collision volume in
Walk and Fly modes. As a result, a viewer acquires some mass, and cannot
pass through other objects, points, or lines in the Scene View.
