Visible Edge Processing Override Actions

To override the Calculate Intersections and Accuracy settings for all visible edge processes:

  1. Open the Configuration dialog (File > Settings > Configuration Variables), and set the configuration variable MS_VISEDGE_OVERRIDES equal to "CalculateIntersections=true, Accuracy=Medium".
  2. Save the changes and close the Configuration dialog.
  3. (Optional) Verify the overrides by opening the Export Visible Edges dialog (File > Export > Common File Types > Visible Edges). On the General tab, the Calculate Intersections setting for Input is disabled and the Accuracy setting is set to Medium.
