Magic wand resolution - please help

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:24:32 GMT

I have some issue with doors and windows' arc's resolution. No matter what magic wand setting I use I cannot get smooth arc, it always end-up awfully segmented. I did a serch at the forum and found this problem regarding profiler but I'm speaking about AC doors and windows. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks in advace for any suggestions..

Pawel:

In library parts, the resolution of curves is usually set via a directive in the script (Resol, Radius, Toler), not via the Magic Wand settings. It is also possible that the segments of the arc are calculated and set directly (the curve is designed as a series of segments). To change the resolution, you would need to open the library part and search for the above directives (if none, then the default Resol is 36) or see if the curve was created by calculated segments.

Thanks David for reply,

I was affraid of that. I went into the script, found it, changed it and it works now but doing it with every kind of door/window I might use is a pain in the...
From the other hand I might need to use segmented arc in some other cases so changing it permanently is not a good idea either. I think we should get seperate parameter for that like "DsemiArch Opening" have, maybe if I find some time I try to implement it and see if it works, anyway thanks for your advise and see you around.
God I love this forum...

Oops, I just discovered that there is already such a parameter under the "3d representation" menu...my fault, sorry for that GS guys..
