JoelS Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 There seems to be a bug in behaviour of the smoothing functions with VW11.0.1/11.5 More often than not, VW11 is grossly oversimplifying polygons so that they no longer bear any resemblance to the shape of the original object. Polygons of 100 vertices are reduced to something like 7 after any smoothing (or no smoothing). I cannot see why this happens with some polys and not others or why so many vertices are lost. Strangely, I have found that on most occasions when this happens, undoing, zooming in and retrying will allow smoothing to complete properly. However there are some polygons that will not smooth whatever I do and an example file is available here: With VW10.5 smoothing was consistently good. Joel. My system: PowerBook G3 series (WallStreet) 0.5GHz, 0.5GB System 9.2.2, CarbonLib 1.6 VW11.5, 160MB partition. Quote Link to comment
JoelS Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 More testing has shown that changing a single point in a complex polyline to the type of point that will smooth the whole object, will allow it to be smoothed without zooming. Joel. Quote Link to comment
