bicameral2 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm trying to extrude a steel tube profile over an Arc. The final product is always segmented. How do i get a smooth extrusion? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It would be helpful to know what version of VW and what operating system you are using. But check Vectorworks > Preferences > 3D Tab > 3D conversion res. It's probably set to Low. hth mk Quote Link to comment
bicameral2 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Sorry. 2012 sp5. That's great. To be more specific, how do i get the Wireframe render to be smooth? Detailed drawings get cumbersome in hidden line or even unshaded. Are smooth wireframes just not an option? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Jershaun Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 You'll find that vw can't handle anything that isn't straight. See the below link for other examples. http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=179183#Post179183 That's the advantage of parasolid modelling. Quote Link to comment
