RVS Transparencies as Materials Select this check box to attach transparent materials to the objects. Use this
option, for example, when large objects in the scene are permanently transparent, and you want to convert them
as such.
When this check box is clear (the default option), the file reader ignores RVS transparency settings. Use this
option, for example, when you want to override transparency settings in the RVS file.
NOTE You can also override object transparency directly in Autodesk Navisworks.
Convert Origins Select this check box to convert component origin points into Autodesk Navisworks snap
points.
When this check box is clear, origin points are discarded.
Convert Zero-Thickness Solids Select this check box to convert 3D solids with a zero thickness into 2D geometry.
When this check box is clear, 3D solids with a zero thickness are discarded.

SKP Page
Use this page to adjust the options for the SketchUp SKP file reader.
Convert Hidden Items Select this check box to convert hidden entities in SKP files. They are automatically
marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores hidden items.
Merge Faces Indicates whether the file reader interprets adjoining faces with the same color, layer, and parent
as a single item in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the faces as separate items in the Selection Tree.
Merge Lines Indicates whether the file reader interprets joining lines with the same color, layer, and parent as
a single item in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the lines as separate items in the Selection Tree.

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 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 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.
