Faceting Factor Enter the required value to control the level of faceting that takes place.
The faceting factor must be greater or equal to 0, where 0 results in the faceting factor being turned off. The
default value is 1. To get twice the number of facets, double this value. To get half as many facets, halve this
value. Larger faceting factors result in more polygons to a model and larger Autodesk Navisworks files.
Max Facet Deviation This setting controls the greatest distance between the edge of a facet and the actual
geometry. If this distance is greater than the Max Facet Deviation value, Autodesk Navisworks adds more facets.
If the Max Facet Deviation is set to 0, then this function is ignored.
Default Units Specifies the type of units Autodesk Navisworks uses when opening SAT files.
TIP If the chosen units type turns out to be wrong, you can rescale the model by using the File Units and Transform
option. (Right-click in the Scene View, and click File Units and Transform on the shortcut menu.)

Convert Hidden Items Select this check box to convert hidden entities in SKP files. They are automatically
marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores hidden items.
Merge Faces Indicates whether the file reader interprets adjoining faces with the same color, layer, and parent
as a single item in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the faces as separate items in the Selection Tree.
Merge Lines Indicates whether the file reader interprets joining lines with the same color, layer, and parent as
a single item in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the lines as separate items in the Selection Tree.
