When using Navisworks, you may often need to create an Animation moving around the environment focussed on a central point. The enclosed method shows you a very easy solution to resolve this.
- Open a model in Navisworks and save a 3D view.
- Create 4 or 5 views in the Save Viewpoints panel rotating around the model. Southwest, Southeast, Northeast, Northwest and further required views, door/entrance for example.
- Right click in the Save Viewpoint panel, select Add Animation and rename it Orbit.
- Go back to Save Viewpoint and select all 4/5 views using shift and left click the mouse and drop into the animation. It will show below the Animation as below.
- Pick the animation, in this case I’ve selected Orbit in the Save Viewpoint. Go to the Animation tab across the top and press Play.
- If your animation runs slow, right click on the desired animation, change the duration to 20 seconds and play again.
