Actually rebar does come smooth also.
Ask any Canadian or anyone who designs for cold climates. It is used where regular bar will act like a file to ream out a hole when expansion and contraction is too much. Dowels mostly. It was code in the olden days. I don't know if it is now or not.
ArchiCAD Help indicates to me that it is not possible to create Complex Profiles with a smooth curve.
There are some magic wand settings that do a better job than others.
For example. "Best Match" does not give you the best curve fit as it would seem to indicate.
The smoothest setting I can find is never using the "Best Match" setting.
perhaps something is wrong with the program. ?
The smoothest profile curve I can get is with magic wand settings for Trace Method set to Linear Segments.
Why does this have anything to do with the Magic Wand settings anyway?
