Navisworks pages unnecessary data to the hard disk, freeing up space for
loading to continue. JetStream technology also enables you to start navigating
the supermodel, before it has been completely loaded into memory. Autodesk
Navisworks is large address aware, and utilizes any additional memory
assignment following the 3GB switch available on Windows XP systems.
TIP You can reduce the amount of drop-out during navigation by reducing frame
rate, or switching off the Guarantee Frame Rate option.
To set the target frame rate
1 Click Home tab ➤ Project panel ➤ File Options
.
2 In the File Options dialog box, Speed tab, select the number of frames
per second to be applied to the rendered display of the model.
3 Click OK.
To set the level of detail
1 Click the application button
➤ Options.
2 In the Options Editor, expand the Interface node, and click the
Display option.
3 On the Display page, Detail area, select the Guarantee Frame Rate
check box to maintain the target frame rate during navigation. If this
check box is clear, the complete model is rendered during navigation,
no matter how long it takes.
4 Select the Fill in Detail check box to render a complete model when
navigation stops. If this check box is clear, the items dropped out during
navigation are not filled in when it stops.
5 Click OK.
To render transparent items
NOTE: If your video card supports hardware accelerated OpenGL, you can
turn on the rendering of transparent items during interactive navigation. By
default, transparent items are only drawn when interaction has ceased to
prevent problems with display performance.
