Review Your Model Select Objects With large models it is potentially a very time-consuming process to select items of interest. Autodesk Navisworks makes this a much simpler task by providing a range of functions for quickly selecting geometry both interactively and by searching the model manually and automatically. Interactive Geometry Selection In Autodesk Navisworks, there is a concept of an active selection set (the currently selected items, or the current selection) and saved selections sets. Selecting and finding items makes them part of the current selection, so you can hide them or override their colors. At any time, the current selection can be saved and named for retrieval in later sessions. Selecting items makes them part of the current selection, so you can hide them or override their colors. You can use several methods to interactively select items into the current selection. You can use the tabs in the Selection Tree, select items directly in the Scene Area with select and select box modes, and you can select other items with similar properties to an existing selection using the selection commands. NOTE Right-clicking any item in the Selection Tree or Scene Area opens a shortcut menu. You can also customize the level at which you select items (selection resolution), and modify the highlighting method for the items selected in the Scene Area. Selection Tree Window The Selection Tree is a dockable window, which displays a variety of hierarchical views of the structure of the model, as defined by the CAD application in which the model was created. 8 179
