Convert Hidden ADT Spaces Indicates whether space objects that lack any visible 3D geometry in DWG files
are converted (for example, objects that lack floor or ceiling thicknesses).
Selecting this check box results in corresponding hidden objects appearing in Autodesk Navisworks.
NOTE This option does not affect the normal behavior of space objects that have visible 3D geometry in DWG files.
Convert Lines Select this check box to convert lines and arcs in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores lines.
Convert Off Select this check box to convert layers that are switched off in DWG and DXF files. They are
automatically marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores switched off layers.
Convert Points Select this check box to convert points in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores points.
Convert Snap Points Select this check box to convert snap points in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores snap points.
Convert Text Select this check box to convert text in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores text.
Convert Views Select this check box to convert the named views into Autodesk Navisworks viewpoints.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores views.
Convert XRefs Select this check box to convert any external reference files contained within the DWG file
automatically.
Clear this check box if you want to append files in Autodesk Navisworks later yourself.
Default Decimal Units Selects the types of units Autodesk Navisworks uses to open DWG and DXF files that
were created with decimal drawing units.
NOTE DWG and DXF files do not specify the units they were created in. To adjust the units in Autodesk Navisworks,
use the File Units and Transform option.
Default Font Specifies default font used to display converted text in Autodesk Navisworks.
DWG Loader Version Specifies which version of ObjectDBX to use when loading AutoCAD 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. 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.
Load Material Definitions Select this check box to extract material definitions from DWG files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores material definitions.
Material Search Paths Autodesk Navisworks automatically searches the default Autodesk material paths.
Use this box to specify additional paths to texture files used in Autodesk Architectural Desktop materials. Separate
the paths with semi-columns.
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.
Merge 3D Faces Indicates whether the file exporter 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 entities as separate items in the Selection Tree.
Merge Lines Indicates whether the file exporter interprets joining lines with the same color, layer, and parent
as a single item in the Selection Tree.
