Export Curves

When ON, curves are exported.

Export Symmetry

If an Alias layer has symmetry ON, this information and the geometric objects resulting from the layer’s symmetry can be Merged and converted or left intact (Unmerged) and converted.

When Off is selected, layer symmetry is not exported.

Tesselation

Tessellator

Fast – Tessellates more quickly but less accurately.

Accurate – Tessellates models more accurately but more slowly.

Use existing tessellation – If the surface has already been tessellated, that tessellation is used, otherwise the tessellation settings from the Control Panel are used.

Tolerance

The value specifies the amount the polygonal surface can deviate from the original NURBS surface.The default value is 0.01.

Limit Edge Length

If checked, a Max edge length slider appears to control how large the triangles can get. If unchecked, there is no limit on the size of the triangles.

Max Edge Length

Specifies the maximum length of any triangle edge (in current linear units).
