Parasolid Page

Use this page to adjust the options for the Parasolid file reader.

Default Units

Specifies the type of units Autodesk Navisworks uses when opening Parasolid files.

Tip: If the chosen units type turns out to be wrong, you can rescale the model by using the Units and Transform option. (Right-click in the Scene View, and click Units and Transform on the context menu.

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.

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.

Scale

The scale factor to apply to the model. The scale factor must be greater or equal to 0, where 0 results in the scale factor being turned off.
