Advanced

The parameters in this area control file saving operations.

Split closed faces/surfaces

When selected, closed surfaces and solid faces are split into their component surfaces. When not selected they are not split

Set max. degree for NURBS entities

When selected, sets the maximum degree of the NURBS entity - that is the degree of its parametric equation - to the value inserted in the adjacent box.

Convert profiles to curves

When selected, these entities are converted. When not selected they are ignored.

Convert to NURBS

The controls in this area determine general aspects of the conversion of entities into NURBS

Curves/surfaces

When selected, converts surfaces and curves into NURBS.

Arcs

When selected, converts arcs into NURBS.

Keep original domain

When selected, the whole surfaces are converted. When not selected, only the visible part of the surfaces are converted.

Specialized conversion

When selected, closed cylindrical surfaces are converted as rational surfaces. When not selected, they are converted to NURBS surfaces.

Max. number of control points

Enables you to set the maximum number of control points along U and along V in the conversion to NURBS.

U

Enter here the maximum number of control points along U.

V

Enter here the maximum number of control points along V.

Conversion tolerance

Determines the tolerance value used to convert NURBS during conversion of the file.
