Convert Lines and Arcs Select this check box to convert lines, splines, curves, arcs, circles, or ellipses in DGN files. Convert PDS Data Select this check box to read object information from Intergraph's Plant Design System™ while converting the DGN files. PDS information is read from Intergraph's DRV files. The file exporter looks for a DRV file with the same base name as the DGN file in the same directory. When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores PDS data. Convert References Select this check box to convert reference files in DGN files. When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores reference files. Convert Text Select this check box to convert text into smart tags in Autodesk Navisworks. When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores text in DGN files. Convert TriCAD Data Select this check box to read object information from Triplan's TriCAD™ while converting DGN files. When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores TriCAD data. Convert TriForma Data Select this check box to read object information from Bentley's TriForma™ while converting DGN files. When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores Tri-Forma data. Default Font Specifies default font used to display converted text in Autodesk Navisworks. 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. Ignore Unres. References Select this check box to ignore unresolved reference files in DGN files. If this check box is clear, the file exporter attempts to convert all reference files, and presents you with a dialog box to find any unresolved reference files at a run time. Material Search Paths Enter a semi-colon separated list of paths to the MicroStation palette (.pal) and material (.mat) files. These paths are used by the file exporter to convert MicroStation materials. 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. Merge Lines and Arcs Select this check box if you want to reduce the complexity of the model in the Selection Tree by interpreting adjoining lines with the same color, level, and parent as a single item. Clear this check box if you want to leave these elements as separate items in Autodesk Navisworks. Shape Merge Threshold Specifies the number of vertices for MicroStation shapes. If the number of vertices is less than or equal to the Shape Merge Threshold value, Autodesk Navisworks merges all shapes on the same level or in the same cell and with the same color into a 'Shape Set'. Show Hidden Items Select this check box, if you want to display all entities in converted DGN files, irrespective of whether they are hidden or not. NOTE To use this option, you must select the Convert Hidden Items check box. TriForma Dataset Search Paths Enter a semi-colon separated list of paths that the file reader uses to locate Triforma data set files. You must include the paths to user-defined datasets. Use Level Symbology Select this check box to enable the level symbology from MicroStation. This makes items in Autodesk Navisworks take their color from level rather than use the default element color in MicroStation. Use Materials Indicates whether MicroStation's materials are exported and assigned to elements. 434 | Chapter 17 Autodesk Navisworks Reference
