Hi Anthony,
""not sure if its real or just an optical thing because the edges of the solid look smooth. """"""""""

A trick i learned from Michael, to rule out "display artifacts" is to do a quick export to obj, then in the meshing dialogue, select "shaded" only, with no edges, then you can cranck up the dicing of the polys, and see what the surface actually is, without some type af display angle artifact... Then just cancel the command to return. FYI
