Quick Reference Right-clicking the Section View or the Plan View control bar opens the shortcut menu with the following options. Option Description Look From Enables you to set the thumbnail view to one of the preset viewpoints. Choose from: Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left, Right, or Current Viewpoint. Selecting the Current Viewpoint option sets view in the thumbnail to the active navigation viewpoint. Update Current Viewpoint Sets the active navigation viewpoint to the view in the thumbnail. Edit Viewpoint Opens the Edit Viewpoint dialog box, and enables you to modify the settings for the thumbnail viewpoint. Lock Aspect Ratio Instructs Autodesk Navisworks to match aspect ratio of the thumbnail to that of the current viewpoint in the Scene Area. The matching is done even when you resize the control bar with the thumbnail. This will usually give gray strips either to the top and bottom, or to either side of the thumbnail view. Refresh Redraws the thumbnail based on the current setting. Thumbnail drawing uses software OpenGL and so can take a couple of seconds for large models. Help Opens context-sensitive help. View All Makes the complete model fit into the Scene Area. Using this function dollies and pans the camera so that the entire model is shown in the current view, which is very useful if you get lost inside a model or lose it completely. Occasionally, you may get a blank view. This is usually because there are items that are very small in comparison to the main model, or items that are located a long way away from the main model. In these cases, right-click an item in the Selection Tree and click View Selected to find your way back to the model before trying to figure out which items are "lost". To view everything ➤ Click View All on the Navigation Tools toolbar. Menu: Viewpoint ➤ Navigation Tools ➤ View All Shortcut menu: Scene ➤ View All View Selected Zooms the camera so that the selected items fill the Scene Area. View All | 161
