Convert Hidden Items Select this check box to convert hidden entities in SKP files. They are automatically marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores hidden items. Merge 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 faces 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 lines as separate items in the Selection Tree.

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.

Default Units Specifies the type of units Autodesk Navisworks uses when opening STL files. TIP If the chosen units type turns out to be wrong, you can rescale the model by using the File Units and Transform option. Override Normals Normals control how objects appears when lit. By default, this check box is clear, and the file reader uses the data provided in the STL file, giving the most accurate visible results. Select this check box if you want Autodesk Navisworks to ignore the normals, and generate the lighting data instead, for example when the supplied model contains invalid lighting data. NOTE Using this option is less accurate than using real lighting data in STL files. File Readers Node | 429
