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.

Facet Deviation for more information.

or ellipses from the .dgn file.
8. Select the Merge Lines and Arcs check box if you want to reduce the complexity of the model as
seen in the selection tree by interpreting adjoining lines etc. with the same color, level and parent as
a single item. Clear this check box if you want to leave these elements as separate items in
NavisWorks.
9. Select the Convert Text check box if you want to read text from the .dgn file. Text will be converted
