Use this page to adjust the options for the IFC file reader.
Specifies the level of visual representation of IFC elements.
IFC elements can have multiple visual representations, such as bounding boxes (simplest), lines, styled lines, polygons, and styled polygons (most complex). Loading and showing all of these representations can lead to cluttered visuals and memory overheads.
Select from the following options:
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.
Select this check box to show IFC model as a tree structure in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to show IFC model as a simple list of elements in the Selection Tree.
Select this check box to convert and use property-based colors.
Select this check box to bring through and visualize spaces.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores spaces.
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. When you double the value, you get twice the number of facets. When you halve the value you get half as many facets. Larger faceting factors result in more polygons to a model and larger Autodesk Navisworks files.
Select this check box to bring through and visualize bounding boxes.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores bounding boxes.
When the Modern conversion method is selected, control the visibility of IFC entities by selecting an option from the drop-down list:
