and you'll see a Missing Map Coordinates dialog on page 5618 when you
render the scene.
This option gives you faster loading speed, but no UVW coordinate
generation.
■ Generate coordinates for all objects This option forces all objects to have
UVW coordinates generated when the drawing is imported.
This option tells the DWG/DXF Importer to create UVW coordinates, but
loading time is increased while the coordinate generation occurs.
Curve steps Adjusts how smoothly an arc or curve appears when the drawing
is imported. Larger numbers result in smoother curves. Default=10.
Maximum surface deviation for 3D solids Specifies the maximum allowable
distance from the 3ds Max surface mesh to the parametric 3D solid surface.
Small numbers produce more accurate surfaces with a greater number of faces.
Large numbers produce less accurate surfaces with fewer faces. In most cases,
the default value suffices. Default=1.0.
Imported 3D solid with different Surface Deviation settings
Top: Surface Deviation=10.0
Center: Surface Deviation=1.0 (the default)
Bottom: Surface Deviation=0.1
