the Scene View.
Use Center Lines When this check box is selected, the shortest distance measurements snap to the center lines
of parametric objects.
When this check box is clear, the surface of the parametric objects is used for the shortest distance measurement
instead.
NOTE Changing this option does not affect any measurement currently in place. To see any changes, clear the
measurement, and start again.
Snapping Page
Use the options on this page to adjust the cursor snapping.
Picking
Snap to Vertex Select this check box to snap the cursor to the nearest vertex.
Snap to Edge Select this check box to snap the cursor to the nearest triangle edge.
Snap to Line Vertex Select this check box to snap the cursor to the nearest line end.
Tolerance Defines the snapping tolerance. The smaller the value, the closer the cursor must be to a feature in
the model before it snaps to it.
Rotation
Angles Specifies the multiplier for the snapping angle.
Angle Sensitivity Defines the snapping tolerance. The value you enter here determines how close to the snapping
angle the cursor must be for snap to take effect.
Viewpoint Defaults Page
Use the options on this page to define attributes that are saved with viewpoints when you create them.
When you modify default viewpoint settings, your changes do not affect the currently opened Autodesk
Navisworks file. They are used as soon as you open a new Autodesk Navisworks file, or start a new Autodesk
Navisworks session.
Save Hide/Required Attributes Select this check box to save viewpoints with hidden/required markup information
about objects in your model. When you use a viewpoint again, the hidden/required markups set when the
viewpoint was saved are reapplied.
By default, this check box is clear, as saving the state information with each viewpoint requires a relatively large
amount of memory.
