Shell Segmentation

[Tazo Kikoria]

Hi there. I had trouble making Shell curves smoother. I've seen the similar topic before but the shell construction method is not the same so I want to ask again.

I am making a small church project with one tiny nave:

I am using Geometry Method: Extruded but the thing is I want the shell to have more segments so it will look smoother in the section. Now this is how it looks like:

P.S I want to know if there's a solution of this issue using particularly shells (not other methods like morph etc.).

Just remember that any registry changes you make will affect your machine only.

As soon as you open the file on another machine, you wont see the changes.

Anyone checked to see if it survives the round trip?

[Barry Kelly]

If you have made the registry change on your machine, when ever you open the file you will see the change.

It is just on any other machine without the same registry setting, they wont see it.

It doesn't change the geometry, just how you view it.

It is not like the RESOL setting in an object that belongs to the object.

It is a machine setting, particular to your machine.

But as MASz mentioned:

Just noting something I did not realise: You have to adjust any existing shells drawn in, or draw new ones for the registry setting to take effect. Otherwise the old segmentation will be displayed.

So it does not dynamically change when you modify the registry. It might just be a re-draw thing, in which re-opening the file will resolve, but if it is not, it might not survive a round trip.

Ah, so it must be baked into the shell as you model it then.

My mistake, sorry.

Still all users would have to make the same setting if the shells are to be modelled on different machines and you want them all to look the same.
