Convert Views Select this check box to convert the named views into Autodesk
Navisworks viewpoints.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores views.
Convert XRefs Select this check box to convert any external reference files
contained within the DWG file automatically.
Clear this check box if you want to append files in Autodesk Navisworks later
yourself.
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 Units and Transform option.
Default Font Specifies default font used to display converted text in Autodesk
Navisworks.
Convert Point Clouds Select this check box to convert the AutoCAD Point
Cloud entities. This applies to AutoCAD and Autodesk Navisworks 2011 or
later. Earlier versions will ignore the point clouds or display proxy graphics
(often as a wireframe box).
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores point clouds.
Point Cloud Detail Specifies how much detail to extract from the point cloud.
The valid entries are between 1 and 100, where 100 = all the points, 10 = about
10% of the points, 1 = about 1% of the points.
Use Point Cloud Colors Controls the point cloud colors. Select this check
box to use color values for the points in the point cloud.
When this check box is clear, any color values for the points in the point
cloud are ignored and the normal AutoCAD color for the entity is used. This
option is useful if the specific colors stored are too dark or meaningless.
DWG Loader Version Specifies which version of ObjectDBX to use when
loading AutoCAD files.
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.
