When the dialog pops up, select which parts you want to be transferred by clicking them in the list, or by selecting them in the main view.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also choose a new value for tessellation quality if you want finer control of the quality of your individual parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that&nbsp;<em>Update With Manual Selection<\/em>&nbsp;will push the selected parts as well as any changed parts to KeyShot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"SiemensNX-PluginSettings\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plugin_Settings\"><\/span>Plugin Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can adjust the following options in Settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tessellation quality<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This slider controls the density of your mesh within KeyShot. Larger values mean a denser mesh (and larger file sizes). It is recommended to keep this value between .2 and .5 for most uses, with the default value of .2 being a good starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Separate materials<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this is checked, parts in NX that share the same color will not be linked in KeyShot. When this box is unchecked, all parts in NX that share the same color will import into KeyShot with a linked material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Include NURBS<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This checkbox will import your NURBS data into KeyShot. This allows you to render at a higher fidelity but is often much slower than tessellated data. If geometry is overly faceted try adjusting tessellation before relying on NURBS rendering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-use-the-plugin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Use_The_Plugin\"><\/span>How To Use The Plugin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now use the KeyShot plugin to send 3D data from your current NX session into KeyShot.

For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>C:\\Program Files\\Siemens\\NX XX\\UGII\\menus<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have located the file, open it with a standard text editor such as notepad.exe.
