VDAFS import options
 
 
 

Items in VDAFS files that were grouped using BEGINSET/ENDSET are grouped in a hierarchy in Alias after retrieval. Entity names are preserved.

Create Section Data

If Create Section Data is ON, degree 1 curves are imported as section data.

Group

Determines how files stored in VDAFS file format are retrieved. When ON, objects are retrieved as a single group for easier manipulation.

Coalesce Params

Enables (when ON) or disables multiple knot removal in curve or surface geometry read from VDAFS files containing parametric spline curves or surfaces. The default is OFF.

Map Groups as Layers

When ON, VDAFS groups are mapped to Alias Layers. All items in the group are assigned to the created layer. The name of the group becomes the name of the layer.

Default Trim Curves

Selects the curves that the processor will use to trim surfaces. You can select parameter space or model space curves. If for any reason the trimming fails, the translator will try to trim with the alternative curves.

Scale Factor

Changes the size of models stored in VDAFS file format when you retrieve the file.
