03 Using 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

04 Working with Viewpoint
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.
