Predefined Camera Views

In Autodesk Navisworks, you can align a camera to one of the axis, or select one of six predefined face views to instantly change the camera’s position and orientation in the scene. This functionality is available in a 3D workspace only.

When you align the camera position along one of the axis:

  • Aligning with X axis toggles between front and back face views.
  • Aligning with Y axis toggles between left and right face views.
  • Aligning with Z axis toggles between top and bottom face views.
Note: You can customize the location of the front face by using the ViewCube tool. This change is global, and affects all viewpoints.
