Default
PVIEW_UNIT

in
ft
yd
|
Specifies the unit in which the source data is set to the adapter. This is useful if the source units information cannot be determined from the source file. The default unit is meter.
|
|
Scale
|
Scales the source data by overriding the source data scale with a custom scale. This value uniformly scales the model prior to writing the 3D model (OL) file. The default value is 1.0, where the geometry is not scaled.

|
Tolerance (%)
|
Sets the analytical tolerance based on a percentage of the model size. The tolerance value is the percentage of the current model size (bounding box diagonal).
When not specified, the default value is 0.05%.
|
|
|
Tolerance Min (m)
|
Sets the minimum analytical tolerance. The default unit is meter.
|
|
|
Tolerance Max (m)
|
Sets the maximum analytical tolerance. The default unit is meter.

Chord Height (AT)
|
Sets the chord height resolution based on multiples of analytical tolerance. The default value is 0.05% of the current model size (bounding box diagonal).
|
|
Edge Length (AT)
|
Sets the edge length resolution based on multiples of analytical tolerance.
|
|
Edge angle (deg)
|
Sets the maximum allowed angle between edges in degree. The default value is 75°.
