If the Max Facet Deviation is set to 0, then this function is ignored.
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 VRML
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 VRML files.
Override Orientation By default, this check box is clear, and the file reader
processes the geometry information in order indicated in VRML files, which
can be clockwise or counter-clockwise.
When this check box is selected, the file reader ignores the order in VRML
files, and processes the geometry information counter-clockwise. This option
is useful, if your model, when viewed in Autodesk Navisworks, has holes or
black areas in it.
Override Switch Statements By default, this check box is clear. This means,
the file reader uses the default behavior of the switch statements in VRML
files.
For switch statements that are used in VRML scripting, related geometry is
only converted if the corresponding switch is turned on. As a result, you can
get a mostly empty model in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is selected, the file reader processes all switch statements,
and brings through extra geometry.
NOTE Overriding Switch Statements can result, for example, in creating
duplicate geometry if the switch statement contains several ways to represent the
same object.

Sample Rate Specifies the frequency of points extracted from the input file.
Increasing the sample rate, reduces the number of points extracted. As a result,
the image resolution is reduced, and the file is converted faster.
