Where no vertex exists, it was hard to define a point of measurement. In this new release of Navisworks there are five lock options (X axis, Y axis, Z axis, Parallel and Perpendicular) that facilitate this task.
Lock options can be entered on the keyboard or selected on the interface making it much easier to measure and check distances and areas with the Measure tool, while reviewing the digital model.
Perpendicular locks in a perpendicular alignment to the surface of your start point in measuring, while Parallel locks in a parallel alignment to the surface of your start point.
Don’t forget to look through the great features our Ideate Technical Team has found in the new 2014 releases for Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, Revit Structure, Civil 3D, AutoCAD and more: ideateinc.com/2014
