Mesh Smoothing

Select how mesh smoothing is applied to imported objects.

●        Imported: Determines whether objects appear faceted or smooth based on the normals in the imported file (the normals are not recalculated).

●        Custom Crease Angle: Determines whether objects appear faceted or smooth based on the specified Crease Angle (the normals are recalculated).

●        None: Forces all objects to appear flat or faceted (the normals are recalculated).

Crease Angle

When Custom Crease Angle is selected, enter the desired angle to smooth all mesh objects rendered with OpenGL; enter a higher value for smoother surfaces (range: 0–180)

Units in File

Select the units for the imported file; this affects the size of the imported objects

Coordinate System

Select the coordinate system for the imported file:

●        Vectorworks (right-handed, Z-up, Y-forward)

●        Vision (left-handed, Y-up, Z-forward)

Select Vectorworks if the file was exported from the Vectorworks program.

Flip Moving Lights

Rotates all moving light fixtures by 180° on the X axis, so Vectorworks content can be oriented correctly in Vision

Update Existing MVR Objects

For .mvr files, updates the open scene file without duplicating the existing geometry
