3. Select the Convert Hidden check box if you want to read hidden entities from the .3ds file. They will
be converted but hidden in NavisWorks.
4. The paths of texture map files are not stored with the texture maps in the model so enter a
semi-colon separated list of paths in Bitmap File Search Paths that the reader will search in when it
finds texture maps in the model.
5. From the Default Units drop-down list, choose the type of units that NavisWorks will use when
opening .3ds files. If the units turn out to be wrong, the model can be easily rescaled using the File
Transform option (see “ Setting a File's Units and Transform ” for more details).
6. Click OK to set these options or Cancel to exit the dialog without setting them.
DGN and PRP Files
NavisWorks can read 3D .dgn and .prp files from Bentley's MicroStation, but does not support .cel files or
2D .dgn files. Reference files and instances of cells are respected and the selection tree reflects this file
structure.
There is also an .nwc file exporter for MicroStation - see “ MicroStation .nwc Exporter ” for more details.
Note:
The reader supports files from MicroStation 95, SE and /J. It does not support MicroStation
Modeller and any versions of MicroStation before 95.
The DGN reader additionally does not support auxiliary coordinate systems.
