Use this page to adjust the options for the ReCap file reader.
-
Max Interactive Points
- Specifies the maximum number of points drawn during interactive navigation by the ReCap engine. The default value is 500000 points. Increasing the number of points improves render quality, but reduces the frame rate.
-
Max Memory (MB)
- Specifies the maximum amount of memory the ReCap engine will be allocated in MB. The default value is 0. This means that the memory resources will be distributed as follows: 0.5 GB on 32-bit machines, and up to 1/3 of total memory or 4 GB (whichever is smaller) on 64-bit machines. You can change the value, if you want the ReCap engine to use more memory resources.
-
Scale Interactive Point Size
- Determines the size of points drawn during interactive navigation by the ReCap engine. By default this check box is selected. The points sizes are drawn larger to fill the gaps between them, and resulting in a smoother rendering appearance. If this check box is clear, the points are drawn normal size with the increased gaps between them.
-
Apply Lighting
- By default this check box is clear, and both colour and lighting values are extracted from the input file. Select this check box if you want to use Autodesk Navisworks lighting modes instead.
-
Use Occlusion Culling
- Select this check box to enable occlusion culling. This means that the ReCap engine only draws visible objects and ignores any objects located behind other objects. Selecting this check box improves the display performance when much of the model is not visible. For example, when you're walking down the corridor of a building, as less points need to be drawn.
Important: Occlusion culling can only be used on a machine with a graphics card that meets the Autodesk Navisworks minimum system requirements.
