Hide/Required Select this check box to save hidden/required markup information about objects in your model
with the viewpoint. When you use a viewpoint again, the hidden/required markups set when the viewpoint was
saved are reapplied.
NOTE Saving the state information with each viewpoint requires a relatively large amount of memory.
Override Material Select this check box to save material override information with the viewpoint. When you
use a viewpoint again, the material overrides set when the viewpoint was saved are reapplied.
NOTE Saving the state information with each viewpoint requires a relatively large amount of memory.

Culling Tab
Use this tab to adjust geometry culling in the opened Autodesk Navisworks file.
Area
Enable Specifies whether or not 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.
Distance Specifies the farthest distance between the camera and the near clipping plane position in constrained
mode.
Specifies the exact distance between the camera and the near clipping plane position in fixed mode.
NOTE Nothing is drawn between the camera and the near clipping plane; when you override automatic mode, make
this value small enough to display your data. Also, overriding automatic mode with values under 1 can produce
unpredictable results.
Far
Automatic Select this radio button to make Autodesk Navisworks automatically control the far clipping plane
position to give you the best view of the model. The Distance box becomes unavailable.
Constrained Select this radio button to constrain the far clipping plane to the value set in the Distance box.
