■ Tolerance The amount a polygonal surface can deviate
from the original NURBS surface. The default value is 0.01.
■ Limit Edge Length If selected, a Max edge length slider
controls maximum size of the triangles. If unchecked, there
is no limit to the size of the triangles.
■ Max Edge Length The maximum length of any triangle
edge (in current linear units).
Types of data exported
The DirectConnect translator for DWF exports only meshes. The Alias scene
