PDS information is read from Intergraph’s DRV files. The file reader looks for
a DRV file with the same base name as the DGN file in the same directory.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores PDS data.
Convert TriCAD Data Select this check box to read object information from
Triplan’s TriCAD
™
while converting DGN files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores TriCAD data.
Convert TriForma Data Select this check box to read object information from
Bentley’s TriForma
™
while converting DGN files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores TriForma data.
TriForma Dataset Search Paths Enter a semi-colon separated list of paths
that the file reader uses to locate Triforma data set files. You must include the
paths to user-defined datasets.
View Number Enter the required value to selects a specific view for loading.
The file reader uses the level visibility of this view when converting items.
For example, enter 0 to use the first active view.

Faceting Factor in 3D Models 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 the value. To get half as many facets, halve the value. Larger
faceting factors result in more polygons to a model and larger Autodesk
Navisworks files.
Max Facet Deviation in 3D Models (m) 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 in 3D Models (m)
value, Autodesk Navisworks adds more facets.
If the Max Facet Deviation in 3D Models (m) is set to 0, then this function
is ignored.
