Riegl Page
Use this page to adjust the options for the Riegl Scan file reader.
Use Point Color Values Select this check box to extract color values from the input file.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores color values.
Use Point Intensity Values Select this check box to extract intensity values from the input file.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores intensity values.
Triangulate Point Data Select this check box to extract triangles from the input file.
Selecting this check box slows down the speed of file conversion.
Apply Scanner Transformation Select this check box to display the image in local coordinates relative to the
scanner.
Clear this check box to display the image in global coordinates. Use this option when the file contains more
than one frame.

RVM Page
Use this page to adjust the options for the RVM file reader.
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
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.
Convert Attributes Select this check box to convert attribute files. All files located by the file reader are considered
in the same order they were found. Attributes are matched to elements in the scene by name. Any attributes
that were not found are counted, and the number reported in the scene statistics.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores attribute files.
Search All Attribute Files Controls the way the file reader locates attribute files. The file extensions are specified
in the Attribute File Extensions box.
When this check box is clear (the default option), the file reader checks the directory where the RVM file is
located for an attribute file with the same name. If it cannot find an attribute file, then it looks in a subdirectory
with the same name as the RVM file for all files with the specified file extensions.
When this check box is selected, the file reader first uses the default search method. If it cannot find any attribute
files, it returns to the directory where the RVM reader is located, and looks for all files with the specified file
extensions.
Attribute File Extensions Specifies the file extensions that the file reader uses to recognize attribute files. The
default extensions are *.ATT, *.ATTRIB, and *.TXT. Separate the values in the list with semi-colons.
Generate Texture Coordinates Select this check box to create texture coordinates for each point in the model.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores texture coordinates.
Keep Empty Groups Select this check box to convert groups that do not contain any geometry. Use this option
when, for example, these groups contain attributes.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores empty groups. This is the default option.
