Assessment
Creating a Composite Model
• What are the key differences in the file import formats and how do
these differences impact the creation of the composite model?
• Is there a limit to the number of models that can be appended? (No)
• Navisworks® Manage can also publish a composite model in the
NWD file format—a highly compressed formation that cannot be
edited and can be secured with password protection. For what
purposes would this file format be useful? (Question 1)
• Would it be useful to save several different NWF files of the
composite model? What might an NWF file to be shared with the
project owner contain, as compared to an NWF created for the MEP
consultants? (Question 2)

Assessment
Defining Sets of Model Elements
• Can you describe a quick method for merging two existing search
sets into a joined set? (Question 6)
• Can you edit the search constraints that define a search set after it
has been created? (Question 7)

Key Terms
The following key terms were used in this lesson:
Key Term Definition
The hierarchy of the files users have opened and appended into the current scene and
Selection Tree the model elements in each of these files. This hierarchy reflects the structure of the data
created by the original design application.
Viewpoints are saved camera positions and view settings that allow model reviewers to
Viewpoints capture and easily return to specific views of the model. Viewpoints can also store
information that facilitates design review audit trails and setting up model animations.
A mode of view displaying all the points of a model being projected parallel to the screen,
Orthographic and thus making it easier to work with a model due to all the edges of the model
appearing as the same size, regardless of the distance from the camera.
Perspective The mode of view as we see things in the real world, where with increasing distance
objects recede.
Selection sets are static groups of items used for saving a group of objects that you want
Selection Set to regularly perform some action on. They simply store a group of items for later retrieval,
and do not dynamically update as the model changes.
Search sets are dynamic groups of items selected by specifying search criteria. They are
Search Set used in ways similar to selection sets, but the search criteria can rerun at a later date to
update the search set when the model changes.
