3. Enter the Max Facet Deviation. This will facet entities to within the specified tolerance. See Max
Facet Deviation for more information.
4. Check the Convert attributes box to attempt to load attribute files.
5. Check the Search all attribute files box to affect how attribute files are looked for and loaded.
If unchecked, the reader firstly looks for an attribute file with the same name as the RVM file in the
same directory, followed by all attribute files contained within any subdirectory with the same name
as the RVM file. The attribute file extensions searched are listed in the Attribute file extensions
box.
If the Search all attribute files box is checked, the reader looks for a file using the method above,
but also tries all attribute files in the same directory as the RVM irrespective of filename.
6. Attribute file extensions lists all extensions that will be considered for attribute conversion. This can
be edited and added to where necessary.
Note
Using Dump Attributes may not bring through all attribute data. If more than one database is
used in the project, it is recommended that attributes be exported using the Datal method.
7. Check the Generate texture coordinates check box to create texture coordinates for each point in
the model. This will affect how textures are applied to the geometry.
8. Check the Keep empty groups check box to keep any groups in RVM file that do not contain
geometry. If unchecked, such groups will be discarded.
Note
RVM files do not contain color information beyond a color number on each scene element. As
these colors are customisable JetStream provides a color definition file to allow easy color
personalisation.
Two examples of this file are located in the RVM subdirectory inside the main JetStream install
directory:
colors.txt - these are a set of default Review™ colors (this file is used by JetStream).
PDMS_colors.txt - these are a set of the default PDMS™ colors (example file - this is not used
by JetStream)
To use a different set of colors, copy the colors.txt file into one of the JetStream search
directories, and edit the contents accordingly. The RVM Reader will search these directories on
startup and use the first colors.txt file it finds. See Section 17.12, “ Search Directories ” for more
information
9. Load RVS file should be checked if a corresponding RVS file should be searched for and loaded on
loading the RVM file. To work correctly, the RVS file must have the same name as the associated
RVM file, but with the .rvs extension.
10. RVS transparencies as materials should be checked if it is required to respect transparencies
coming through from the RVS files, treating them as materials within JetStream. If this is left
unchecked, RVS transparencies are ignored.
11. Click OK to set these options or Cancel to exit the dialog without setting them.
