AngleUnit

• Description

This option specifies whether the angles to be written to the STEP file should be in degrees or radians. If the value of the option is set to 0, the angles are written in radians, and if set to 1, angles are written in degrees. Any other value changes the units to radians.

• Default

0

• Description

This option sets the information in the description field in the FILE_DESCRIPTION entity. You may choose any meaningful description in the STEP file header.

• Default

STEP AP203

FileName

• Description

This option sets the information in the name field in the FILE_NAME entity. If the option string is empty, the user file name is used.

• Default

ConvTrimToClassIIIWires

• Description

This option controls whether to translate a model containing trimmed faces as Class III wireframe model. Set this option to true to enable translation of trimmed faces as Class III wireframe models. If you set this option to false, trimmed models are translated as trimmed models.

• Default

false

ConvTrimToClassIVFaces

• Description

This option controls whether to translate model containing trimmed faces as a Class IV manifold surface model. Set this option to true to enable translation of trimmed faces as Class IV manifold surface models. If you set this option to false, trim models are translated as trim models.

• Default

false

EnableMultiLumpBody

• Description

This option specifies whether a multi-lump body should be written as a single advanced_brep_shape_representation (ABSR) body in STEP. The true value specifies that a multi-lump body is written as single ABSR in STEP. The multi-lump body is written as many MANIFOLD_SOLID_BREPs (each lump as a separate solid) in STEP if the value of this option is set to false.

• Default

false

FileLineIncrement

• Description

This option indicates the line number at which the STEP file is to begin creating a file. You can specify any value greater than or equal to 1. If you set this option to 2, a blank line is left at the start of the file and the STEP file content is written from the second line.

• Default

1

FileLineLength

• Description

This option specifies the length of a line in the STEP file. Set this option to any value greater than or equal to 60 or -1. The value -1 indicates that there is no limit on the length of the line.

• Default

-1

FileTolerance

• Description

This option sets the tolerance value for writing to a STEP file during translation from source format to STEP. Set the tolerance to any value greater than 0.

• Default

0.000001

OrganizationName

• Description

This option sets the information in the organization field in the FILE_NAME entity.

• Default

" " (empty string)

PreProcessorVersion

• Description

This option sets the information in the preprocessor_version field in the FILE_NAME entity. It allows you to specify the name of the system and the version which produces the STEP file.

• Default

Spatial InterOp 3D

ProgramName

• Description

This option sets the information in the originating_system field in the FILE_NAME entity.

• Default

" " (empty string)

SchemaName

• Description

This option sets the schema name for the STEP file.

• Default

CONFIG_CONTROL_DESIGN

StepFileStartLineNumber

• Description

This option specifies the starting line number for writing a STEP file. Set this option to any value greater than or equal to 1. The value 1 indicates that the data content in the STEP file starts from the first line.

• Default

1

TranslateAsAp214Format

• Description

This option specifies whether the STEP file should be written in AP214 format. By default the STEP file is written in AP214 format. The AP214 format supports writing of attributes such as color, layer, and line font. Set this option to true to write the STEP file in AP214 format. The false value for this option indicates to write the STEP file in AP203 format.

• Default

false

TranslateSheetAsClassIISurface

• Description

This option controls the translation of sheet bodies as Class II surfaces (GEOMETRIC_SET) or Class IV manifold surface model (SHELL_BASED_SURFACE_MODEL) in the STEP file. Set this option to true to translate the sheets as Class II surfaces. Sheets are written as a Class IV manifold surface model in STEP if you set the value to false.

• Default

false

TranslateSheetAsNonManifoldSurface

• Description

This option controls the translation of the sheet bodies as Class IV non-manifold surfaces (FACE_BASED_SURFACE_MODEL) or as Class IV manifold surfaces (SHELL_BASED_SURFACE_MODEL) in the STEP file. Set this option to true to translate the sheet bodies as Class IV non-manifold surfaces. sheet bodies are written as Class IV manifold surface model in the STEP file if the value of this option is set to false.

• Default

false

TranslateSolidAsClassIISurface

• Description

This option controls the translation of the solid bodies as Class II surfaces (GEOMETRIC_SET) or Class VI bodies (MANIFOLD_SOLID_BREP or BREP_WITH_VOIDS) in the STEP file. Set this option to true to translate the solids as Class II surfaces. solids are written as Class VI bodies in STEP if the value of this option is set to false.

• Default

false

TranslateSolidAsClassIIWires

• Description

This option controls the translation of a solid body as a wire body in the STEP file format. Set this option to true to translate the solid body as Class II wires (GEOMETRIC_CURVE_SET) in the STEP file. Solid bodies are translated into STEP as Class VI bodies (MANIFOLD_SOLID_BREP and BREP_WITH_VOIDS) if you set this option to false.

• Default

false

TranslateSolidAsClassIV

• Description

This option controls the translation of a solid body as a trim body in the STEP file.
