How do I hide centerlines in my Navisworks animation??

[andrew.krebs]

I'm using the animator in NW 2010 and when I make certain objects 100% transparent, their centerlines still show...

Is there a way to turn off centerlines? Any ideas why only random columns, beams, and braces show centerlines when hidden?

Have you tried to turn off lines? Its in the toolbar in the attachment.

thanks so much! not only did it turn off lines like I wanted, but the animator tool works 10x faster with lines turned off. a simple fix but a huge help...

I might have spoken too soon...

The lines are turned off now which solved my initial problem, but the animator tool has slowed back down to about a 10 second lag time between dragging or clicking a camera or animation set.

I have two .nwc files appended, does this slow down the animator significantly?? Do you have any tips on how to use the animator so that it does not run so slow? I have a 64 bit computer that runs Revit with no problem, and all the other functions of Navisworks work fine, just the animator seems to struggle...

thanks

It depends on the size of the .nwc files. IMHO animator and scripter are under developed and a pain to use. There is other software out there that will do the same thing, but is much more user friendly.

good luck.
