Inspire Import Options

The Inspire reader use the inspire_reader.ini file with the following available options:

@CleanupTol

Value

Description

double

A negative value (default) means to use the auto cleanup tolerance. A value greater than the calculated auto cleanup tolerance means to use that specific tolerance.

Refer to the CAD Cleanup Tolerance section.

@ColorsAsMetadata

Value	Description
integer	Read color attributes of geometric entities as metadata. COLOR_RGB
on	Read color attributes of geometric entities as metadata. COLOR_RGB
off	Do not read color attributes (default).

@DensityAsMetadata

Value

Description

Read density value as metadata (default).

DENSITY

off

Do not read density value.

@DoNotMergeEdges

Value	Description
on	Preserve the original geometry edges, instead of merging them together during the import cleanup phase.
off	Merge edges together during the import cleanup phase (default).

@ExtractManifoldFromGeneralBody

Value	Description
on	Extract the manifold body from a Parasolid general body that is non-manifold and/or of mixed topological dimensionality (default).
off	Extract Parasolid general bodies as defined.

@ImportBlanked

Value	Description
on	Import entities that are hidden, blanked, or no show.
off	Do not import entities that are hidden, blanked, or no show (default).

@ImportForVisualizationOnly

Value

Description

Import the model for visualization purposes only.

This skips many of the import steps (cleanup, stitching, solid creation, and so on) to provide a faster import. The resulting model may not be suitable for other uses.

off

Import the model in the normal fashion (default).

@ImportFreeCurves

Value	Description
on	Import free curves (wireframe entities) into the model (default).
off	Do not import free curves.

@ImportFreePoints

Value	Description
on	Import free points into the model (default).
off	Do not import free points.

@MetadataPrefix

Value

Description

string

The string is prefixed to all metadata names. No prefix is used by default.

See CAD Metadata Naming for more details.

@OriginalIdAsMetadata

Value	Description
on	Import original Inspire and Parasolid entity IDs as metadata.
off	Do not import original Inspire and Parasolid entity IDs as metadata (default).

@ScaleFactor

Value

Description

double

Defines the model scaling factor during import.

Default is 1.0.

@SkipCreationOfSolid

Value	Description
on	Read surfaces, but do not create solid entities.
off	Create solid entities (default).

@SplitPeriodicFaces

Value	Description
on	Split periodic surfaces to improve the quality and robustness of the import (default).
off	Import periodic surfaces as a single surface with a seam edge.

@UniqueIdAsMetadata

Value

Description

Create metadata to track the unique CAD entity IDs. The ID is a combination of the Inspire body ID and the Parasolid entity ID, in order to make it unique.

UNIQUE_ID

off

Do not create metadata to track the unique CAD entity IDs (default).
