Smooth Arc Wall Facets
When arc wall segments in a Building dynamic view do not appear to be smooth, this command rebuilds the arc wall so that all wall segments display in a continuous smooth curve.
This is how it works |

When an arc wall is placed, the solid curve form is facetted with a tolerance computed from the view extents. This facetted representation is cached in memory for faster redraw. In a Building dynamic view, these facets are noticeable when the view extents are decreased, as when zooming in for example. These facets are particularly noticeable when a non-unified arc wall is sectioned in a Building dynamic view. This is because the cut geometry in the section is drawn as a complex shape (non-facetted), while the forward view geometry is facetted. When the Smooth Facets tool is used, solid geometry is facetted at a finer tolerance (as determined by smaller view extents) and the cache is rebuilt. This makes the facets less noticeable. |
