Description

I thought "Convert to internal Mass" used to default to "No" but now it shows "Yes". This will really slow down models with a lot of internal partition surfaces. This should be set to "No" by default until we do a better job on minimizing the surface count on forward translation.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Locate the implementation of the "Convert to internal Mass" setting and identify where its default is assigned, then check the forward-translation path affected by interior partition surfaces. Done means new settings use "No" by default and the existing conversion behavior remains available when explicitly enabled.
