Creating Animations

Creating animations in Navisworks gives you the flexibility to record simulations, combine viewpoints into animations, and use the Navigation tools to move around while recording. Animations become essential in relaying information both inside and outside of Navisworks. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a great foundation in viewpoints prior to using or creating animations, since it will make them a little easier to deal with.

Essentially, there are two ways to create an animation in Navisworks. First, you can use the Record feature to record your movements as you go along, creating frames of each movement. Second, you can create a series of viewpoints and place them inside an animation.
