In the lower right hand corner of the interface there are four performance indicators, that give you constant feedback as to how NavisWorks is performing on your machine.

The progress bar under the left hand icon (pencil) indicates how much of the current view is drawn, i.e. how much drop-out there is in the current viewpoint. When the progress bar is at 100%, the scene is completely drawn, with zero drop-out. The icon will change color and/or flash while NavisWorks is working, rendering the scene. While the scene is being drawn, the pencil will change to yellow. If there is too much data to handle and your machine (graphics card) cannot process this quickly enough for NavisWorks, then the pencil will change to red, indicating a bottleneck.

The progress bar under the central icon (disk/cylinder) indicates how much of the current model is loaded from disk, i.e. how much is loaded into memory. When the progress bar is at 100%, the entire model, including geometry and property information, is loaded into memory. The icon will change color while NavisWorks is working, loading the model file. While data is being read, the disk will change to yellow. If there is too much data to handle and your machine cannot process this quickly enough for NavisWorks, then the disk will change to red, indicating a bottleneck.

The progress bar under the right hand icon (web server) indicates how much of the current model is downloaded (when Opening a file via URL), i.e. how much has been downloaded from a web server. When the progress bar is at 100 %, the entire model has been downloaded. The icon will change color while NavisWorks is working, streaming the model file. While data is being downloaded, the web server will change to yellow. Once again, if there is too much data to handle and your machine cannot process this quickly enough for NavisWorks, then the web server will change to red, indicating a bottleneck.

The field to the right of the icons reports the amount of memory currently being used by NavisWorks. This is reported in Megabytes (MB).
