Product-Specific Navigation Tools
The navigation bar and SteeringWheels provide you with access to a set of product-specific navigation tools in 2D and 3D workspaces.
In Navisworks, legacy navigation tools have been discontinued. For some navigation tools you can switch back to the legacy (or 'classic') behavior. See the table below for more details.

Pan | Pan | Yes | No |
Zoom | Zoom | Yes | No |

Customizing Tools Behavior
For the navigation bar, you can use Options Editor to toggle between standard and legacy behavior for Orbit and Walk tools.
Control Navigation Realism
You can use Collision, Gravity, Crouch, and Third Person View to enhance your navigation experience in a 3D workspace.
Tip: Use a combination of Collision, Gravity, and Crouch with the Walk tool. This allows you, for example, to walk up and down stairs and walk under low objects.
