Use this page to adjust the options for the RVM file reader.
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. When you double the value,
you get twice the number of facets. When you halve the value you get half as
many facets. 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.
Convert Attributes Select this check box to convert attribute files. All files
located by the file reader are considered in the same order they were found.
Attributes are matched to elements in the scene by name. Any attributes that
were not found are counted, and the number reported in the scene statistics.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores attribute files.
Search All Attribute Files Controls the way the file reader locates attribute
files. The file extensions are specified in the Attribute File Extensions box.
When this check box is clear (the default option), the file reader checks the
directory where the RVM file is located for an attribute file with the same
name. If it cannot find an attribute file, then it looks in a subdirectory with
the same name as the RVM file for all files with the specified file extensions.
When this check box is selected, the file reader first uses the default search
method. If it cannot find any attribute files, it returns to the directory where
the RVM reader is located, and looks for all files with the specified file
extensions.
Attribute File Extensions Specifies the file extensions that the file reader uses
to recognize attribute files. The default extensions are *.ATT, *.ATTRIB, and
*.TXT. Separate the values in the list with semi-colons.
