Looking at the DWG/DXG file reader, you can see a number of options that allow you to con-
figure the settings of this file reader. Let’s take a deeper look at these options:
Faceting Factor This option allows you to control the level of faceting. The default value is 1.
Greater values produce smoother results, but add additional polygons and increase the file size.
Max Facet Deviation This option controls the maximum distance between the facet and the
actual geometry. If the distance is greater than the specified value, Navisworks adds more
facets to meet this value. If the value is set to 0, this function is ignored.
Split By Color Certain compound objects are displayed as one entity in Navisworks.
Checking this box will split these compound objects into individual components based on
their color. Examples include a door assembly that can be split into the individual door frame
and door.
Default Decimal Units This option specifies the type of units used to open the DWG/
DXF file.
