STEP File Reader Options

Setting the STEP file reader options

1. Go to Tools, Global Options, STEP

   The STEP dialog is displayed

   

2. Enter the Faceting Factor (the value must be greater than 0). The higher the value, the more JetStream will facet rounded entities and therefore the smoother they will appear. See for more information.

3. Enter the Max Facet Deviation . This will facet entities to within the specified tolerance. See for more information.

4. Click OK to set these options or Cancel to exit the dialog without setting them.
