Real Arcs, everywhere!

Archicad is still approximatinmg Arcs (from Polylines) with short line segments in its PDF output.

The help falsely claims it would not be possible in general, but lo and behold:

That's a PDF. Exported from Allplan 2008 (!).

So it is possible.

 

Pure, vile, ugliness ensured in AC with polylines:

After investigating I found out that this is ONLY an issue with polylines. GDL objects and circles are not affected.

 

 

Also: It is a crime that 3D Arcs are already angular-shaped in Archicad instead of nicely round and smooth.

Looking at you, Profiles and Shells!

I was just going to post a wish about curves in Complex Profiles. I will upvote your wish instead and hope CPs are included. The crudeness of the curve resolution in CPs is just awful, especially when using them for detail-level modeling where close-up views are required.
