Scale factor

Reduces or enlarges the object size. The scale factor is a homothetic coefficient.

Block treatment

Interprets the block's material based on the following:

• Its composition

• Its instantiation

• Its name

• A distinct block has a distinct material.

• Each component of a given block has a distinct material.

• A distinct material is attributed to each block name.

Affect Material

To be defined either depending on the colors or the block layers.

3D Triangulation

• Angle deviation value: The angle is between two faces and defines how much distance the face is away from being parallel. Enter the value.

• Curve segmentation value: The number of stops needed to define a curve or a circle entity.

2D Geometry

• Curve segmentation value: The number of stops needed to define a curve or a circle entity.

• Import closed contour: Considers closed edges to be the same as surfaces.

NB: Artlantis recognizes the ACIS 3DSolid entities in AutoCad dwg and dxf files. Artlantis imports material names and fixed cameras.
