Paste
- standard cut, copy, and paste commands. They only work inside the selected timeline.
Delete
- deletes the selected keyframe.
Interpolate
- determines whether Navisworks automatically interpolates between the current and the last
keyframes. This is the default option. When disabled, there will be no gradual movement between the two
keyframes; instead the animation will instantly jump to the position/view of the second keyframe when it's
reached. Also, there will be no colored animation bar between the keyframes.
NOTE
If you right-click an area on the animation bar without a keyframe in it, the shortcut menu will contain only the
Paste option; to use it, you must have the keyframe data on the clipboard.

cX, cY, cZ
Enter the X, Y, and Z coordinate values to move the origin (or center point) of the rotation into this
postion.
oX, oY, oZ
Enter the degrees of rotation around X, Y, and Z axis to modify the orientation of the rotation.
NOTE
0,0,0 represents world up.
Scale
X, Y, Z
Enter the scaling factor around X, Y, and Z axis; 1 being the current size, 0.5 half, 2 being double and so
on.
