Hi guys, I've exported a model I created in Civil3D 2015 to Navisworks in order for the rest of our engineering team to interface with the earthworks I've designed. When the surface is displayed to be shaded, the edges that should clearly be sharp edges are displayed smooth and it doesn't look right. Please see the attached image for your reference. The surfaces are exported properly, in wire frame view you could see that the triangulation is still in-tact. I suspect that the rendering engine applies some smoothing algorithm whenever the angle between two triangles is larger than a certain amount (faceting factor perhaps?). Here is a list of things I tried: -Directly opening the Civil3D dwg in navisworks: This method displays my models properly. The problem I have with this is that this specific model only displays bounding boxes for the AecObject. I do not think that it is an object enabler issue since other models do display properly. -Exporting to DWFx. -Using the NWCOUT command in Civil3D -Tried different lighting and display modes in Navisworks Is there any other option that I may have overlooked? Anything I search for doesn't give me relevant results. Thanks, Charl
