FACETERGRIDRATIO (System Variable)

Sets the maximum aspect ratio for the mesh subdivisions that are created for solids and surfaces converted to mesh.

Type:Real
Saved in:User-settings
Initial value:0.0000

This setting affects mesh that is converted from another object using the MESHSMOOTH command. This value can also be set in the Mesh Tessellation Options dialog box.

Permissible values range from 0 to 100, and set the height/width ratio of the face. Use this variable to prevent long, thin faces that can result from cylindrical object conversions. Smaller values result in more, better-formed faces, but can affect performance. Set this value to 0 to turn it off.

If the value you enter is less than 1, the ratio calculation is based on 1/n. For example, if you enter 0.2, the variable value is 1/0.2 = 5.

Note: The value of this system variable reflects the value for objects with no smoothness.
