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.
Scale The scale factor to apply to the model. The scale factor must be greater
or equal to 0, where 0 results in the scale factor being turned off.
Default Units Specifies the type of units Autodesk Navisworks uses when
opening Parasolid files.
TIP If the chosen units type turns out to be wrong, you can rescale the model by
using the Units and Transform option. (Right-click in the Scene View, and
click Units and Transform on the shortcut menu.
