    Default Need help with live sections

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    While moving my model to 2011 Architecture all of my live sections have a very faceted look. I can not remember how in the heck to resolve this. It is not just the options display menu arc smoothness.

    Anyone remember the trick?

    Thanks

    that works but not for this problem. This is a live section cut from a model. a circle will look like a octagon. There is a setting, I just can not remember where it is. thanks for the help.

    OK. I am just going for the simple way first, kinda "didya check the gas guage?" I have Not used Arch so I would not try to suggest a change to any of the vaiables.

    Somebody will have an answer soon.

    The command you are looking for is AECFACETDEV. Change it to something less than 1/2" and it should smooth out the facets. I use .0045 occasionally, it makes the facets very very small, but it also causes problems with large models
