viewpoint. When the progress bar is at 100%, the scene is completely drawn,
with no drop-out. The icon changes color when a redraw is in progress. Whilst
the scene is being drawn, the pencil will change to yellow. If there is too much
data to handle and your machine cannot process this quickly enough for
Autodesk Navisworks, then the pencil changes to red, indicating a bottleneck.
Disk Progress Bar
The progress bar under the central icon (disk) indicates how much of the
current model is loaded from disk, that is how much is loaded into memory.
When the progress bar is at 100%, the entire model, including geometry and
property information, is loaded into memory. The icon changes color when
a file load is in progress. Whilst data is being read, the disk changes to yellow.
If there is too much data to handle and your machine cannot process this
quickly enough for Autodesk Navisworks, then the disk changes to red,
indicating a bottleneck.
Web Server Progress Bar
The progress bar under the right hand icon (web server) indicates how much
of the current model is downloaded, that is how much has been downloaded
from a web server. When the progress bar is at 100%, the entire model has
been downloaded. The icon changes color when a file load is in progress.
Whilst data is being downloaded, the web server changes to yellow. If there
is too much data to handle and your machine cannot process this quickly
enough for Autodesk Navisworks, then the web server changes to red,
indicating a bottleneck.
Memory Bar
The field to the right of the icons reports the amount of memory currently
being used by Autodesk Navisworks. This is reported in Megabytes (MB).
