    How To Control Slab Arc Segments In 3D?

    I have a smooth arc on a slab in plan view that renders and RayTraces with very large segments. Can't remember how to control this.

    I convert the slab to a poly line and the slab disappears - no suprise - must be missing something.

    Don't convert to polyline, convert CURVE TO POLYLINE, and you can specify the number of segments, the more segments, the smoother. Reread Spencer's post, he is correct.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall

    Got it - brain is closed for business at times - don't think I ever used that option. Thanks, Spencer/Scott - really appreciated.
