GeneDavis Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I need make a 3D solid that represents a curved (the curve in plan view) framing member. A curved rim joist. I cannot figure out a way to get the arcs smooth and not segmented. Or rather, I cannot see a way to make the segments smaller. I drew two concentric circles to get the 1.875 inch thickness I need, and the circles had nice smooth arcs when trimmed with CAD and still were smooth when I closed things to make the polyline needed, but when converting to a solid, BOOM, segmented so it does note even look curved the segments are so large. Where in the dialog can I set segmentation so it lasts through the process of conversion to a solid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Try this: - select one of the arcs - open the 3d solid dialog - go to the "selected arc" panel - uncheck "automatic facet angle" - set the angle to a smaller value, like 1 degree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 OR Before closing polyline select curve, convert curve to polyline, select number of segments, repeat on second line...close pline and conver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
