solids tolerance?

[specprogrammer]

I dont use solids much, but I made a chain, create-solids-revolved it. The model looks very choppy/more like a polygon than a cylinder. is there a setting somewhere to improve it. If I leave it this way just for speed of modeling purposes and apply a toopath to it will it cut the part with the same chop or will it be nice and smooth?

Under system config, try changing the radial display.

[specprogrammer]

It was set at 60. changed it to 1 and regened, no change.Changed it to 100, regened, no change?

[Storkman]

Change it to 5 and remake the solid. But mine works with regen. Maybe it's your video card.

[specprogrammer]

Same, maybe its my graphics card. Made it in solidworks and it looked good, saved it as a .x_t brought it into mcx and it looked like crap. Wait, I think that would mean its a MC problem, Oh well, thanks for your help. I'll just worry about if it cuts the part that way.

[specprogrammer]

When I changed it to 5 it did change th model in the wireframe state. But when it displays as a solid it looks choppy.
