QUICK REFERENCE FOR THE COLLISION DIALOG

The collision dialog contains several customizable settings. We explored a few in the

tutorial above. Here is a complete list for your ongoing reference.

Collision dialog settings:

 Collision—Select this option to define a volume or mass to the Viewer that

will be used to identify collisions in the project model when the Walk or Fly

tool has been activated. This will prevent the mass from passing through

certain objects or lines in the Scene View.

 Gravity—Select this option to provide “weight” to the Viewer when the Walk

tool has been activated. This option works in conjunction with Collision.

 Auto Crouch—Select this option to enable the Viewer to crouch under objects

in the model that are normally too low to pass under when the Walk tool has

been activated. This option works in conjunction with Collision.

 Viewer—An invisible volume located in front of the camera in the Scene View.

Radius—Define the radius of the Viewer volume that will be used to

detect collisions in the Navisworks model.

Height—Define the height of the Viewer volume that will be used to

detect collisions in the Navisworks model.

Eye Offest—Define the distance below the top of the Viewer volume

(Height) where the Viewer will focus if Auto Zoom is selected.

 Third Person—When enabled, an avatar will be used to represent a building

occupant in lieu of the Viewer. This avatar can also help identify collisions

with building components.

Enable—Select this option to use the Third person view. When an Avatar

has been selected from the drop-down, it will be shown in the Scene View

to represent the Viewer.

Auto Zoom—Select this option to automatically switch from the Third

Person view to the Viewer whenever the Third Person view becomes

obstructed by an object.

Avatar—Use the drop-down to select the Avatar that will be used in the

Third Person view and applied to the Scene View.

Angle—Specify the camera angle of the camera looking at the avatar. For

example, 0°will place the camera directly behind the Avatar while 15° will

be the camera looking down on the avatar at a 15° angle.

Distance—Define the distance between the camera and the avatar.
