Hidden Line Rendering Issue

[michaelcobb]

Can anyone tell me why sometimes when I do a hidden line rendering of an extruded circle (i.e. a cylinder)i t shows intermediate lines on the surface as if it was an extruded polygon instead of a cylinder? Sometimes it will just render the cylinder without showing any lines on the surface. I prefer this. Any tips on how to avoid the later?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This probably has to do with the smoothing angle setting.
