Clear this check box to keep the entities as separate items in the Selection Tree.
Merge XRef Layers Select this check box to merge the layers in external reference files with layers in the main
DWG file in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the external reference files separate from the main DWG file in the Selection Tree.
Render Type Specifies the render style used for objects when loading DWG files.
Selecting Automatic means Autodesk Navisworks uses the render style saved in DWG files.
If geometry is not correctly displayed, adjust the render style with one of the following options: Rendered,
Shaded, or Wireframe.
Split by Color Compound objects can be split into parts based on their color. Select this check box if you want
to use this functionality.
For example, a window object from Architectural Desktop can be split into a frame and a pane. If this check box
is clear, you can only select the window object as a whole, whereas if you select this check box, you can select
the individual pane and frame.
NOTE Autodesk Navisworks names parts of compound objects after their color.
Use ADT Standard Configuration Select this check box to convert geometry and materials in DWG files using
the Standard display configuration.
Clear this check box to convert geometry and materials accordingly to whether they are displayed in the currently
saved display configuration.

■ None - the file exporter does not convert parameters.
■ Elements - the file exporter converts parameters for all found elements.
■ All - the file exporter converts parameters for all found elements, including the referenced elements. As a
result, extra property tabs are available in Autodesk Navisworks.
Export Specifies how geometry is exported. Select from the following options:
■ Entire Project - all geometry in the project is exported.
■ Current View - everything that is currently visible is exported.
■ Selection - only the currently selected geometry is exported.
Try and Find Missing Materials When this check box is selected (the default option), the file exporter looks
for a match for the materials missing from the export.
NOTE If any inappropriate materials are applied to the model geometry as a result, clear this check box to fix the
problem.
