To Work With Refining Mesh Faces and Objects

Refine a Mesh Face

  1. Set the subobject selection filter to select only faces: right-click anywhere in the drawing area. Click Subobject Selection Filter Face.
  2. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Mesh Refine.
  3. Click one or more mesh faces that you want to refine. Press Enter. (The object must have a smoothness level of 1 or higher.)

    Each face is subdivided into four new faces.

Refine a Mesh Object

  1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Mesh Refine.
  2. Select the mesh object that you want to refine. (The object must have a smoothness level of 1 or higher.)

    The underlying mesh facets are converted to faces, and the level of smoothness for the object is set to 0. Higher levels of smoothness result in a higher number of faces.
