What Is New in This
Release?
Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2010 contains many new features and
enhancements.
User Interface
Changes to the Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2010 interface more closely align
the product with Autodesk standard interface and navigation toolsets.
■ ViewCube. The ViewCube is an on-screen widget, shaped like a cube, that
rotates as you orbit your 3D scene and provides you with feedback about your
current camera viewing angle in relation to the model world. See “
ViewCube”
on page 75.
■ SteeringWheels. SteeringWheels are task-based floating tool palettes that travel
with the cursor to minimize tool access time. SteeringWheels provide access
to different navigation tools grouped into various wheels depending on the
navigation task and user skill level. See “
SteeringWheels” on page 56.
■ Button menus. In Autodesk Navisworks, some toolbar buttons exist in
mutually-exclusive groups of which only one at a time can be selected. These
buttons are now grouped under drop-down menus to improve accessibility
and decrease screen clutter.
■ Artificial horizon. You can now place your model against a fixed artificial
horizon so that it appears more realistic and does not float in mid air. The
background of the 3D scene is split across the horizontal plane giving the
effect of a sky and the ground. The resulting artificial horizon gives you an
indication of your orientation in the 3D world. See “
Select Background Effect”
on page 92.
