Optimize, Tolerance
In general, leave Optimize enabled. It has the same effect as the Optimize command on the Functions
menu: Points in the same or similar position will be merged into a single point. This helps to prevent
mesh problems in Allplan. The Tolerance value denes how close points must be in order to be
merged.
Clear Degenerated Polygons
Degenerated polygons can cause problems in Allplan, therefore leave this option enabled. A
degenerated polygon is a polygon whose points are in a straight line. The option shifts the points of
degenerated polygons slightly to ensure they no longer form a straight line.
In general, try to avoid creating degenerated polygons in the rst place.
Color
Enable this option if the objects in Allplan should be the same color as in CINEMA 4D. If the option is
disabled, the objects will be assigned the RGB color values 125,125,125.
The following color will be used:
Material assigned: The color dened in the Color channel.
No material assigned: The color dened in the Attribute Manager on the Basic
Properties tab.
Small Format
Activating this setting will result in a smaller le size. This le can, though, only be opened using the
latest Allplan software.
Scaling Factor
Here you can dene a scaling factor for the objects to be exported. This is recommended if there are
differences in scale between the scenes in the two programs. If you leave this factor set to 1 for both
import and export there will be no differences in scale.
Make Log File
If problems occur during export, the exporter will quit with an error message. If Make Log File is
enabled, the error message will be saved as a text le in the save path of the Allplan export le. The
log le includes details such as the index numbers of points whose edges are causing problems.
