Display Units Page
Use this page to customize the units used by Autodesk Navisworks.
Linear Units
Use the drop-down list to select the desired linear value. Meters are used by default.
Angular Units
Use the drop-down list to select the desired angular value. Degrees are used by default.
Decimal Places
Specifies the number of decimal places used by units.
Fractional Display Precision
Specifies the level of fraction used by units. This box is enabled for fractional units
only.
Selection Page
Use the options on this page to configure the way geometry objects are selected, and highlighted.
Pick Radius
Specifies the radius, in pixels, that an item has to be within in order for it to be selected.
Resolution
Specifies the level of selection used by default.
When you click in the Scene View, Autodesk Navisworks requires a starting point for the object path in the
Selection Tree box to identify the selected item. You can choose one of the following options:
Model
- the object path starts at the model node; as a result, all objects in the model are selected.
Layer
- the object path starts at the layer node; as a result all objects within a layer are selected.
First Object
- the object path starts at the highest level of objects below the layer node, if applicable.
Last Object
- the object path starts at the lowest level of objects in the Selection Tree. Autodesk Navisworks
looks for composite objects first, and if none are found, the geometry level is used instead. This is the default
option.
Last Unique
- the object path starts at the first unique level of objects (not multiple-instanced) in the Selection
Tree.
Geometry
- the object path starts from the geometry level in the Selection Tree.
Compact Tree
Specifies the level of detail shown on the Compact tab of the Selection Tree.
Use one of the following options:
Models
- the tree is restricted to displaying model files only.
Layers
- the tree can be expanded down to the layer level.
Objects
- can be expanded down to the objects level, but without the levels of instancing shown on the
Standard tab.
Highlight
Enabled
Indicates whether Autodesk Navisworks highlights the selected items in the Scene View.
