Import - Convert tab

If the interface dialog is available in the selected import format, it can also contain a page for “Conversion” apart from the specific pages. This page is identical for all interfaces and permits settings for the import process. Depending on the implementation degree of the interface, it is possible that certain fields are not activated.

SettingDescription
Unknown sections/materials from user input When checked, at import process, you are prompted for each unknown shape or material in a dialog so that you can select a replacing shape.

If this field has not been checked, the unknown shape cannot be created. However, it might be that certain parts are not required for very big models. Therefore, a replacement is not necessary.

Import-Table Displays the file name of the currently used exchange list.
