3. Enter the Faceting Factor (the value must be greater than 0). The higher the value, the more
NavisWorks will facet rounded entities and therefore the smoother they will appear. See Faceting
Factor for more information.
4. Enter the Max Facet Deviation. This will facet entities to within the specified tolerance. See Max
Facet Deviation for more information.
5. Select the Show Spatial Hierarchy check box to have the Selection Tree window show the IFC
model representation as a tree structure rather than a simple list of elements.
6. Select the Convert Bounding Boxes check box to bring through and visualise bounding boxes.
7. Select the Convert Spaces check box to bring through and visualise spaces.
8. Select the Use Property-Based Colors check box to convert and use property-based colors. If it is
found that an ifc file is predominantly black when loaded, clear this box to revert back to using
ifc-standard colors.
9. IFC elements can have multiple visual representations; bounding boxes (simplest), lines, styled lines,
polygons, and styled polygons (most complex). Loading and showing all of these representations can
lead to cluttered visuals and memory overheads. To manage this, Representation Detail can be set
to Highest Only to only load and show the most complex level of detail available whilst ignoring
simpler ones, Show Highest to load all representations, but only show the highest level of detail
available, or Show All to show everything available.
10. Click OK to set these options or Cancel to exit the dialog without setting them.
