If this distance is greater than the Max Facet Deviation value, Autodesk Navisworks adds more facets.
If the Max Facet Deviation is set to 0, then this function is ignored.
Extract Textures Select this check box to extract textures and environment maps associated with the file.
NOTE Environment maps are not set in the scene by default, and must be configured in Presenter manually.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores maps and textures.

Faceting Factor Enter the required value to control the level of faceting that takes place.
The faceting factor must be greater or equal to 0, where 0 results in the faceting factor being turned off. The
default value is 1. To get twice the number of facets, double the value. To get half as many facets, halve the value.
Larger faceting factors result in more polygons to a model and larger Autodesk Navisworks files.
Max Facet Deviation This setting controls the greatest distance between the edge of a facet and the actual
geometry.
If this distance is greater than the Max Facet Deviation value, Autodesk Navisworks adds more facets.
If the Max Facet Deviation is set to 0, then this function is ignored.
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.
Default Decimal Units Selects the types of units Autodesk Navisworks uses to open DWG and DXF files that
were created with decimal drawing units.
NOTE DWG and DXF files do not specify the units they were created in. To adjust the units in Autodesk Navisworks,
use the File Units and Transform option.
Merge 3D Faces Indicates whether the file reader interprets adjoining faces with the same color, layer, and parent
as a single item in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the entities as separate items in the Selection Tree.
Merge Lines Indicates whether the file reader interprets joining lines with the same color, layer, and parent as
a single item in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the entities as separate items in the Selection Tree.
Convert Off Select this check box to convert layers that are switched off in DWG and DXF files. They are
automatically marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores switched off layers.
Convert Frozen Select this check box to convert layers that are frozen in DWG and DXF files. They are
automatically marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores frozen layers.
Convert Entity Handles Select this check box to convert entity handles, and attach them to object properties
in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores entity handles.
