      In this mode, Exchange will avoid reading or generating tessellation on B-rep.
      
      Faceted elements from the native file will still be imported.

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | **kA3DReadGeomAndTess**
      
      Mixed mode: In this mode, the B-rep and faceted elements are read from the native file.
      
      Tessellation is then generated from B-rep elements.
      



.. c:enumerator:: kA3DReadTessOnly

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | **kA3DReadTessOnly**
      
      In this mode, all faceted elements from the native file are read.
      
      If present, the native tessellation of the B-rep is read exclusively. Native tessellation is the display list integrated in the CAD file (only available for CATIA V5, Solidworks, 3DXML, and Inventor).There are some side effects: The tessellation may be not up-to-date with the geometry, the assembly tree can be different, and hidden objects may be missed.If an element contains only B-rep, tessellation is generated from the B-rep and subsequently the B-rep is removed to save memory.
