How can I scale the Naviswork program to see the texts between windows

Anonymous — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 18:01:57 GMT

I don't know why I can't see the texts when I open the sets or another window, the Naviswork comes by default. On YouTube I have seen people with a more lite version, with a more remote naviswork. I don't know if it is a modification in my setup or in the program itself.

Internet :

My computer :

Really can see nothing, if anyone now how to change it pls let me know.

if i understand your question, you want to see the Search Sets in the Clash Detective?

In the Section A & B areas, use the drop down and change it to "Sets". If there are any sets loaded you should be able to see them.

if there are not any Sets created/loaded in the file, you will need to make or load them.

Do you mean, why is the drop down so narrow that the text is truncated?

It looks like your screen is a much lower resolution than the broadcast screenshot you provided. Higher resolution means more pixels, with characters a certain number of pixels wide they'll be smaller so there's room for more of them on screen. It could be as simple as changing your system display resolution to a higher value, providing it supports that.

There's also a possibility there's a conflict with display scaling. It's not uncommon for users with UHD/4K monitors to crank up the display scaling to 150% or higher so text appears the same size as it would on a lower resolution monitor (again, more pixels in the same physical area means smaller text). Display scaling in excess of 120% or so does cause some display problems with some programs, including Navisworks, which is not set up to easily handle display layout on 4K monitors (its not an easy fix on the programming side either; 4K support is usually a major rebuild of the UI). If this is the case, try changing the display scaling back to 100%.
