Play Back Animations
In Autodesk Navisworks there are two types of animation: viewpoint animation and
object animation.
Viewpoint animation contains pre-recorded user and camera movements in the
model. Object animation contains pre-recorded object movements in the model.
You cannot record any animation in Autodesk Navisworks, but you can play back
animations saved with the model. If there are any animation scripts, you can switch
them on and interact with animated objects.
Play Animations and Scripts
You can play back both pre-recorded object animation and viewpoint animation
in the Scene View.
The viewpoint animations play in real time; this means that the Autodesk
Navisworks engine is still attempting to maintain the guaranteed frame rate so
some drop-out may still occur, just as in real-time navigation.
