Scene Area
This is the area where you view and interact with your 3D models.
Dockable Windows
Most Navisworks features are accessible from the dockable windows.
There are two types of dockable windows:
■ Control bars
■ Tool windows
To display a control bar, click View ➤ Control Bars on the Menu bar, and then choose from the list of available
control bars.
To display a tool window, click Tools on the Menu bar, and then choose from the list of available tool windows.
Alternatively, click the desired button on the Workspace toolbar.
Both types of windows can be moved and resized, and either floated in the Scene Area or docked. A docked
window shares one or more edges with adjacent windows and toolbars. If a shared edge is moved, the windows
change shape to compensate. You can also float windows anywhere on the screen, if necessary.
To undock and relocate a window, click and drag the title bars at the top or side of the window.
To prevent a window from automatically docking while you drag it, hold down the CTRL key.
NOTE You can quickly dock and undock a window by double-clicking the window's title bar.
Use the Docking Tool
When you drag a dockable window from its current location towards a new destination on the interface, a
docking tool appears.
The docking stickers point towards the four edges of the interface.
When the window you are dragging is close to the place where you want it to dock, move the mouse over the
corresponding area of the docking tool. You will see an outline of the window appear on the interface. To dock
the window there, release the mouse button.
Tile Windows
You can tile dockable windows on the interface. To do this, drag a window you want to tile over the window
where you want it to be placed. When a rectangular outline appears, release the mouse button.
Auto Hide Windows
You can auto hide dockable windows; this keeps the windows active while maximizing the amount of available
screen space. If auto-hide is active, the body of the window disappears when you move the cursor out of it,
leaving only the title bar visible. Move the cursor over the title bar to display the entire window again.
To switch auto-hide on, click
on the title bar. To switch auto-hide off, click on the title bar.
