Reference Views
Reference views are useful to get an overall view of where you are in the whole
scene and to quickly move the camera to a location in a large model. This
functionality is available in a 3D workspace.
There are two types of reference views available in Autodesk Navisworks:
■ Section View
■ Plan View
The reference views show a fixed view of the model. By default, the section
view shows the view from the front of the model and the plan view shows a
top view of the model.
Reference views are displayed inside the dockable windows. A triangular marker
represents your current viewpoint. This marker moves as you navigate, showing
the direction of your view. The marker may also be dragged by holding the
left mouse button over it and dragging to move the camera in the Scene
View.
NOTE The marker changes to a small dot when the reference view is in the same
plane as the camera view.
To use the Plan View
1 Click View tab ➤ Navigation Aids panel ➤ Reference Views
drop-down ➤ Plan View check box.
The Plan View window opens with the reference view of the model.
