03Using Section Tool
 What is the Section
Tool?
Sections in Navisworks enable you to
create various cross-section views of
your model. This becomes important
as you work on a project so you can
view various aspects of the

model from different perspectives or

slices

Understanding
Viewpoints
Viewpoints allow you to take snapshots of
scenes in your model. This way, you can save
information to use at a later date or return to a
saved point of reference in the model. More
important, viewpoints can contain information
like redline markups, comments, tags, and

Measurements.

Export Viewpoint Report
1. Exporting a viewpoint report exports all viewpoints,
in the Navisworks session. Navisworks exports two
file types: a single HTML file that contains this
information as well as all the associated image files.
The advantage of this approach over exporting an
XML file is that you get the images along with a bit of
information, such as camera position. If viewpoints
were created from a clash report, you’ll get the
subsequent clash infor-motion as well.
