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. (For a complete list of objects that can be converted to mesh, see Objects That Can Be Converted to Mesh.)

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.
