Performance Page
Use the options on this page to optimize Autodesk Navisworks performance.
Memory Limit
Auto Indicates whether Autodesk Navisworks automatically determines the
maximum memory that can be used. Selecting this check box sets the memory
limit to the lowest of your available physical memory or address space, less
that required for your operating system.
Limit (MB) Specifies the maximum memory that Autodesk Navisworks can
use.
Merge Duplicates
These options improve performance by multiply instancing matching items.
Rather than storing every item in memory, if any items are the same, Autodesk
Navisworks can store one instance of them and 'copy' that instance into other
positions. This is of particular benefit on larger models, where there are
significant numbers of these duplicate geometries.
On Convert Select this check box to merge duplicates when a CAD file is
converted into the Autodesk Navisworks format.
On Append Select this check box to merge duplicates when a new file is
appended to the currently opened Autodesk Navisworks file.
On Load Select this check box to merge duplicates when a file is loaded into
Autodesk Navisworks.
On Save NWF Select this check box to merge duplicates when the current
scene is saved in the NWF file format.
On Load
Collapse on Convert Collapses the tree structure on the Selection Tree to
the specified level when native CAD files are converted into Autodesk
Navisworks. Select from the following options:
None - the tree is fully expanded. Use this option to enable splitting
polylines into individual segments when importing DWGs and DGNs to
support multiple clash intersections. For DGN files, you also need to select
