      <div class="title_division">Angle units</div>
      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">Angle Units</b> option allows you to specify the unit of measure angle values written to the STEP file. The choices are <b class="uiTerm">Radians</b> or <b class="uiTerm">Degrees</b> with the default set to <b class="uiTerm">Degrees</b>. Most systems should accept either type of unit. This option corresponds to the <b class="uiTerm">Settings File</b> option, ANG_UNITS.

      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">Surface (sheet body) Output Type</b> option allows you to specify in what form NX sheet bodies are to be output to the STEP file. As <b class="uiTerm">Geometry Bounded Surfaces</b> (default setting), the translator will output sheet bodies to the STEP file as curve_bounded_surfaces within the domain of a gemetrically_bounded_surface_shape_representation (AP203 class2). As <b class="uiTerm">Top. Bounded Surfaces</b>, the translator will output sheet bodies to the STEP file as open_shells within the domain of a manifold surface shap representation (AP203 class 4). This option corresponds to <b class="uiTerm">Settings File</b> option SURF_OUTPUT_TYPE.

      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">Solid (solid body) Output Type</b> option allows you to specify in what form NX solid bodies are to be output to the STEP file. As <b class="uiTerm">Solids</b> (default), the translator will output solid bodies to the STEP file as manifold_solid_breps (or breps_with_voids) within the domain of an advanced_brep_shape_representation (AP203 class 6). As <b class="uiTerm">Geom. Bounded Surface</b>, the translator will output solid bodies to the STEP file as curve_bounded_surfaces within the domain of a geometrically bounded surface shape representation (AP203 class 2). As <b class="uiTerm">Top. Bounded Surfaces</b>, the translator will output solid bodies to the STEP file as closed_shells within the domain of a manifold surface shape representation (AP203 class 4). This corresponds to <b class="uiTerm">Settings File</b> option SOL_OUTPUT_TYPE.
