2D and Multi-Sheet Files
You can now work with 2D files and files containing multiple sheets/models.
Whilst multi-disciplinary models provide a real-world likeness of what a
finished project should look like, various project stakeholders and field workers
are more familiar with 2D plans and elevations. Autodesk Navisworks Freedom
2012 supports 2D and multi-sheet files that can be reviewed, or combined
with models to provide multiple representations of project data.
The supported 2D and multi-sheet file formats are: DWF, DWF(x), and NWD.
When you open a supported file, which contains multiple sheets/models, the
default sheet/model is displayed in the Scene View, and all of the file's
sheets/models are listed in the Project Browser window. If a file contains
both 3D models and 2D sheets, the 3D model is loaded and displayed in the
Scene View by default. If you do not require 2D capabilities, simply close
the Project Browser window and continue working in a 3D workspace.
Project Browser Window
The Project Browser is a dockable window, which lists all sheets/models
in the currently opened file.
