Drawing Importer

The Drawing importer includes various format-specific settings.

Tessellation Setup​

SettingDescription
DeviationMaximum deviation value used for anisotropic space (perspective view). This affects the curves resolution of wires. [default: 0.8]
Max. Grid LinesMaximum number of grid lines to import. [default: 10000]
Max. Edge LengthMaximum facet edge length. [default: 0]
Normal ToleranceTessellation quality of circular surfaces (such as a cone, torus, sphere or cylinder). This is measured in degrees. It determines the number of mesh cells (triangles) used to represent a circular surface. The number of mesh cells will be 360 / Normal Tolerance. So, with a tolerance of 15, a surface will be tessellated with 24 mesh cells (360 / 15). [default: 15]
Surface ToleranceDistance tolerance for coincident faces. [default: 0]
Grid Aspect RatioAspect ratio of the grid. [default: 0]
Distance Between KnotsThe number of additional points between knots. For NURBS surfaces, there will be additional isolines between knots. [default: 2]
Points Per EdgeThe number of points per edge. 0 = disabled. [default: 0]
Fast ModeTessellate the import faster, but at the risk of generating more errors. [default: false]

Materials​

SettingDescription
Handling MethodThe algorithm to use to handle the colouration of the scene. There are 3 options:
  • Colour – use the colour assigned to the surface, either directly on the surface or though the layer or block that it belongs to.
  • Material – use the material that is assigned to the surface.
  • Best Guess – use a material if it exists and is not the Autocad global material or a colour. [default]
