Selection panel

Previous and Next

Select and zoom to one remembered item at a time, walking the list from the keyboard.

On the ribbonStacked buttons, Selection panel
NeedsSomething in memory
Ctrl+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Right">

What it does#

Selects a single item from the memory and zooms to it, then the one after it, then the next. This is how you walk a list of items you found earlier without losing your place: review each clash element, each unresolved comment, each item on a snag list.

Stepping through remembered items with Next: the view zooms to each one and the toast counts where you are.

How to use it#

  1. Remember the list of items to review.
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+Right. The first item is selected and the camera zooms to it.
  3. Keep pressing. Both directions wrap around, so Next at the end returns to the start.

Limitations#

  • The camera move cannot be undone. Save a viewpoint first if you want to come back.
  • The order is the order the items were stored in, which is the order Navisworks listed them at Remember time.

Other uses#

  • A quick model walkthrough for a meeting: Remember the ten things to show, then step through them with one hand while talking.
