Mesh tool question

anto_bg · Thursday

Hello ArchiCad users,

I have a question regarding the Mesh tool which I haven't used in a while and I have forgotten now to smooth the edges of this "cake". "All ridges smooth" doesn't do anything in this case. I am using AC25 on Win 64.

Are you sure that is an actual mesh?

Meshes can not have vertical surfaces except for the very perimeter of the mesh..

If it is indeed a single mesh, you would have to delete the contour at the bottom of each step.

Edit:

Lingwisyer's comment has made me think this is a series of stacked meshes.

Then you would have to transfer the contours of all of the upper meshes to the lowest one and then elevate each contour.

You have not created a new mesh for each contour have you... instead of adding new nodes to and existing mesh?
