Convert Text Select this check box to convert text into quick properties in
Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores text in DGN files.
Default Font Indicates which font to use for the converted text.
Shape Merge Threshold Specifies the number of vertices for MicroStation
shapes.
If the number of vertices is less than or equal to the Shape Merge Threshold
value, Autodesk Navisworks merges all shapes on the same level or in the same
cell and with the same color into a “Shape Set”.
Convert References Select this check box to convert reference files in DGN
files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores reference files.
Ignore Unres. References Select this check box to ignore unresolved reference
files in DGN files.
If this check box is clear, the file reader attempts to convert all reference files,
and presents you with a dialog box to find any unresolved reference files at a
run time.
Use Level Symbology Select this check box to enable the level symbology
from MicroStation. This makes items in Autodesk Navisworks take their color
from level rather than use the default element color in MicroStation.
Align Global Origins Indicates whether Autodesk Navisworks aligns global
origins in referenced DGN files to the origin of the master DGN file.
When DGN files are appended together with this check box selected, their
global origins are positioned in the same place.
Use Materials Indicates whether MicroStation's materials are exported and
assigned to elements.
Select this check box to assign the same textures, diffuse, ambient, and specular
colors to the elements as in the MicroStation scene.
Clear this check box to assign the same colors to the elements as in the
MicroStation scene.
Material Search Paths Enter a semi-colon separated list of paths to the
MicroStation palette (.pal) and material (.mat) files. These paths are used by
the file reader to convert MicroStation materials.
Convert PDS Data Select this check box to read object information from
Intergraph’s Plant Design System
™
while converting the DGN files.
