Verify graphics on arcs in compare

It's a result of tolerancing. The verify model that you're seeing is a faceted mesh in the background, and on smaller arcs, there aren't as many facet faces to make up that arc as there would be on a larger arc with the same tolerance/facet size. As JParis said, you can tighten up the tolerance to increase the number of facets on the mesh, but calculation time goes up commensurately.

Not only that, you can use it to your advantage, you are looking at less than .001 difference in space, I have blended surfaces and walls with multiple sized cutters by paying close attention to the density of the "tiger striping", once you get your eye in its like you only used one cutter.
