Work with Clipping Planes

Constrain the Position of the Clipping Planes Automatically in a 3D Workspace

1. Click Home tab > Project panel > File Options .

2. In the File Options dialog box, click the Culling tab.

3. Select Automatic for the Near clipping plane.

4. Select Automatic for the Far clipping plane.

5. Click OK.

   Navisworks automatically controls the position of near and far clipping planes to give you the best view of the model.

Constrain the Position of the Clipping Planes Manually in a 3D Workspace

1. Click Home tab > Project panel > File Options .

2. In the File Options dialog box, click the Culling tab.

3. Select Constrained for the Near clipping plane, and enter the desired value in the Distance box.

4. Select Constrained for the Far clipping plane, and enter the desired value in the Distance box.

5. Click OK.

   Navisworks uses the provided values unless doing so affects the system performance (for example, makes the whole model invisible), in which case it adjusts the position of the clipping planes as necessary.

Fix the Position of the Clipping Planes in a 3D Workspace

1. Click Home tab > Project panel > File Options .

2. In the File Options dialog box, click the Culling tab.

3. Select Fixed for the Near clipping plane, and enter the desired value in the Distance box.

4. Select Fixed for the Far clipping plane, and enter the desired value in the Distance box.

5. Click OK.

   Important: Navisworks uses the provided values even if doing so affects the system performance (for example, makes the whole model invisible).
