When you open CAD and laser scan files, Autodesk Navisworks reads the units
directly from the files. If this is not possible (for example, the file is unitless),
Autodesk Navisworks uses the default units configured for that file type in the
Options Editor whenever possible. Loaded files are scaled appropriately to
the configured display units.
It is possible to rescale the file units, if they are found to be incorrect for the
scene.
To customize display units
1 Click the application button
➤ Options.
2 Expand the Interface node in the Options Editor, and click the
Display Units option.
3 Select the Linear Units from the drop-down list. Be sure to choose the
exact format required.
4 Select the Angular Units from the drop-down list.
5 Enter the number of decimal places you want to see throughout the
interface for your units in the Decimal Places box. If the unit chosen
is a fractional unit, rather than a decimal unit, then you have the choice
of what level of fraction to display the units from the Fractional
Display Precision drop-down list.
6 Click OK.
