Hi,

Please see attached screen shots.

Looks like the shading of a circular sketch will “segment” when you zoom in and the line remains a true curve.

Wondering if someone could confirm this for me?

Cheers

In addition, the body I have extruded is also segmenting. Is this just how shapr renders cicles?

Hi Dylan,

Yes and yes. When you zoom in very close the _visual representation_ can look “segmented.” Here is a 1000mm circle and zoomed in to edge, also extruded circle. The last screenshot zooms in at the circle edge where a radius is measured. The coincident constraint appears not exactly on the circle.

This is nothing to worry about.

Thanks Bob! I was having SketchUp ptsd and was worried. Just checked the DXF and it looks smooth.

Cheers
