Use the options on this page to configure the way geometry objects are selected, and highlighted.

Pick Radius

Specifies the radius, in pixels, that an item has to be within in order for it to be selected.

Resolution

Specifies the level of selection used by default.

When you click in the Scene View, Navisworks requires a starting point for the object path in the Selection Tree box to identify the selected item. You can choose one of the following options:

• File - the object path starts at the file node; as a result, all objects in the file are selected.
• Layer - the object path starts at the layer node; as a result all objects within a layer are selected.
• First Object - the object path starts at the highest level of objects below the layer node, if applicable.
• Last Object - the object path starts at the lowest level of objects in the Selection Tree. Navisworks looks for composite objects first, and if none are found, the geometry level is used instead. This is the default option.
• Last Unique - the object path starts at the first unique level of objects (not multiple-instanced) in the Selection Tree.
• Geometry - the object path starts from the geometry level in the Selection Tree.

Compact Tree

Specifies the level of detail shown on the Compact option of the Selection Tree.

Use one of the following options:

• Models - the tree is restricted to displaying model files only.
• Layers - the tree can be expanded down to the layer level.
• Objects - can be expanded down to the objects level, but without the levels of instancing shown on the Standard option.
