Select Objects
Autodesk Navisworks provides several methods to interactively select
items.
Interactive Geometry Selection
In Autodesk Navisworks, there is a concept of an active selection
set (the currently selected items, or the current selection) and saved
selections sets. You cannot save any selection or search sets yourself,
but you can use the selection or search sets saved in the model (the
Sets tab on the Selection Tree).
Selecting items makes them part of the current selection, so you
can hide them or override their colors.
You can use several methods to interactively select items into the
current selection. You can use the tabs in the Selection Tree, select
items directly in the Scene View with the Select and Select Box tools,
and you can select other items with similar properties to an existing
selection using the selection commands.
NOTE Right-clicking any item in the Selection Tree or Scene View opens
a shortcut menu.
You can also customize the level at which you select items (selection
resolution), and modify the highlighting method for the items
selected in the Scene View.
Selection Tree Window
The Selection Tree is a dockable window, which displays a variety
of hierarchical views of the structure of the model, as defined by
the CAD application in which the model was created.
