AndyM Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I seem to remember something about being able to determine the number of visible lines on an extruded arc in V10. Anybody know anything about this? Quote Link to comment

Anybody know anything about this? Depends what you're talking about. If you're talking about hidden line rendering, you'll want to adjust the smoothing angle in the line render preferences. If you're talking about wireframe, adjust the 3-D conversion resolution preference in the 3-D preferences. Note that in 10.5 and thereafter, an isoline representation is used that doesn't have nearly as many lines visible in wireframe while still allowing for reasonable approximation of curves.

AndyM Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Thanks - It was the smoothing angle setting I was looking for. It would be nice if you could adjust that on an object by object basis in the OIP. Quote Link to comment

Note that the actual angle value is not used for most objects that VectorWorks "knows" are curved, such as extruded circles, sweeps, cones, spheres, and nurbs surfaces. For those surfaces, in 10.5, as long as the angle value is greater than 0, the non-profile facet lines are removed between faces. Quote Link to comment
