Autodesk Navisworks
Reference
File Options Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to control the appearance of the model and the
speed of navigation around it, and also to create and configure links
to external databases.
When you modify any of the options in this dialog box, your
changes are saved in the currently opened Autodesk Navisworks
file, and apply to this file only.
Menu: Tools
➤
File Options.
Culling Tab
Use this tab to adjust geometry culling in the opened Autodesk
Navisworks file.
Area
Enable Specifies whether area culling is used.
Number of Pixels Below Which Objects are Culled Specifies a
value for the screen area in pixels below which objects are culled.
For example, setting the value to 100 pixels means that any object
within the model that would be drawn less than 10x10 pixels in
size are discarded.
Clipping Planes
Near
Automatic Select this radio button to make Autodesk Navisworks
automatically control the near clip plane position to give you the
best view of the model. The Distance box becomes unavailable.
Constrained Select this radio button to constrain the near clipping
plane to the value set in the Distance box.
Autodesk Navisworks uses the provided value unless doing so affects
performance (for example, makes the whole model invisible), in
which case it adjusts the near clip plane position as necessary.
Fixed Select this radio button to set the near clipping plane to the
value provided in the Distance box.
