Import Transparency and Image Data as Renderworks Textures

Converts imported texture information from the material file data into Renderworks textures, including transparency and image data

Create Renderworks Textures for All Materials

Mesh Import Options

Mesh Smoothing

Select how mesh smoothing is applied to imported mesh objects.

●       Select Custom Crease Angle to define the Crease Angle for the imported objects.

●       Select Use Document Settings to use the crease angle as defined in the document settings; for more information, see Vectorworks preferences: Display pane.

Crease Angle

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

Model Space Units

Because OBJ files do not store unit information, select the units to use for the imported OBJ file; this affects the size of the imported meshes
