NavisWorks3 introduces significant enhancements that will aid improvements in design understanding and quality.
Posing the question, "Why orbit a model slowly when you can fly freely?", Peter Thompson, Managing Director of NavisWorks describs NavisWorks3 Navigator as "an integrated solution to ease the frustration of manoeuvring and examining 3D design data in AutoCAD".
He continues: "All design professionals deserve navigation like this inside their design software and it is our policy to extend the applications we support with NavisWorks3 Navigator to mirror that of our comprehensive 3D design review solution".
Installing as a dockable window within the main AutoCAD interface, NavisWorks3 Navigator compresses and opens the model at the current AutoCAD viewpoint and offers the ability to transfer instantly between AutoCAD and Navigator viewpoints.
Unrestricted movement around or within the design is achieved by finding objects or views in AutoCAD to then investigate further with a choice of navigation modes offered by NavisWorks3 Navigator.
The viewpoint arrived at following navigation can be updated into AutoCAD and this can accelerate design development and improve the final output because when creating design data, It is recognized that speed is paramount.
No one enjoys wasting time travelling to their place of work and when deadlines loom and issues need resolving any delay is not only frustrating; it can be expensive.
NavisWorks3 Navigator offers design professionals using AutoCAD a more effective way to get on with the job of quickly creating design data with nine navigation modes: walk, look around, zoom, zoom box, pan, orbit, examine, fly and turntable.
Every design professional working in 3D can benefit from NavisWorks3 Navigator and the product is competitively priced so that everyone can.
Sitting comfortably in a comprehensive NavisWorks 3D design review solution, Navigator is available to try and buy direct from The NavisWorks website.
