STL Page
Use this page to adjust the options for the STL file reader.
Default Units Specifies the type of units Autodesk Navisworks uses when
opening STL 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.
Override Normals Normals control how objects appears when lit. By default,
this check box is clear, and the file reader uses the data provided in the STL
file, giving the most accurate visible results.
Select this check box if you want Autodesk Navisworks to ignore the normals,
and generate the lighting data instead, for example when the supplied model
contains invalid lighting data.
NOTE Using this option is less accurate than using real lighting data in STL files.

VRML Page
Use this page to adjust the options for the VRML file reader.
Default Units Specifies the type of units Autodesk Navisworks uses when
opening VRML world files.
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.
