SMOOTHMESHGRID (System Variable)

Sets the maximum level of smoothness at which the underlying mesh facet grid is displayed on 3D mesh objects.

Type:Integer
Saved in:User-settings
Initial value:3

Value

Description

0

Never displays the underlying mesh facet grid

1

Displays the facet grid for smoothing levels 0 and 1

2

Displays the facet grid for smoothing levels 2 and lower

3

Displays the facet grid for smoothing levels 3 and lower

4

Displays the facet grid for smoothing levels 4 and lower

Use this variable to help visualize smooth surfaces. By setting limits, you can simplify the display of the underlying facet grid when you work with extremely dense mesh objects.

You can enter any number, depending on the number of smoothing levels you expect. This variable does not affect the smoothing level of the mesh. Its value cannot exceed the value of SMOOTHMESHMAXLEV.

If the VSLIGHTINGQUALITY system variable is 0, this system variable is ignored and all smoothness levels are displayed as faceted.
