■ Intensity - the points use the intensity values stored in the file.
■ Color - the points use the color values stored in the file.
NOTE If the selected option is not available, then the file reader defaults to the values used in the file. For example, if
you set Point Colors to Color, but only intensities are available in the file, then the file reader uses the intensities.

Convert Lights Select this check box to convert lights.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores lights.
Convert Skeletons Select this check box to convert skeletons.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores skeletons.
TIP A common technique for animating a 3D model consists of creating a hierarchical articulated structure, named
skeleton, whose deformation derives the deformation of associated model. The location and displacement of the
skeleton's joints dictate how the model moves.
Convert Textures Select this check box to convert textures.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores 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 this value. To get half as many facets, halve this
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.

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. When you double the value, you get twice the number of facets. When you halve the value
you get half as many facets. Larger faceting factors result in more polygons to a model and larger Autodesk
