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 Split by Color check box if you want to be able to select parts of compound entities in
NavisWorks. For example, a window object from Architectural Desktop may be split into a frame and
a pane. If this check box is not selected, then you will only be able to select the window object as a
whole, whereas if you select this check box, you will be able to select the individual pane and frame.
However, the names of the pane and frame will be based on their color.
6. From the Default Decimal Units drop-down list, choose the type of units that NavisWorks will use
when opening .dwg and .dxf files that were created with decimal drawing units. Note that .dwg and
.dxf files do not specify the units they were created in. If the units turn out to be wrong, they can be
easily changed using the File Units and Transform option (see “ Setting a File's Units and
Transform ” for more details).
7. Select the Merge 3D Faces check box if you want to reduce the complexity of the model as seen in
the selection tree by interpreting adjoining faces with the same color, layer and parent as a single
item. To keep the entities as separate items in NavisWorks, clear the check box.
8. Select the Merge Lines check box if you want to reduce the complexity of the model as seen in the
selection tree by interpreting joining lines with the same color, layer and parent as a single item. To
keep the entities as separate items in NavisWorks, clear the check box.
9. Select the Convert Off check box if you want to read layers that are switched off in .dwg and .dxf
files. They will be converted but hidden in NavisWorks.
10. Select the Convert Frozen check box if you want to read layers that are frozen in .dwg and .dxf files.
