Hi Leonard, also one other thing you can do is if you are interested in how things will look when polygonzied, you can export to a polygon mesh format such as OBJ.

The export mesher has a dialog with a lot more controls for producing the export mesh, and the export mesher itself has a much more thorough (and also correspondingly slower) process for producing the mesh, so it is able to refine areas with polygons that may be missed by the display mesher since the display mesher generally takes some shortcuts in order to focus on getting results quickly.

Great explanations Michael. I will experiment when I export (.obj) to see what I am getting. Thanks. -L.

Hi Leonard, no problem, I'm glad that helped!

One other note - if you are going to be frequently saving to an OBJ file just for testing what the mesh is going to look like, it can be handy to set up a keyboard shortcut for doing a kind of "dummy save" so you can see the export meshing results.

To do that, go to Options / Shortcut keys, and add in a new entry. For the command put in this:

SaveAs c:\test.obj

Then whenever you hit that key it will go through the process of saving to a file c:\test.obj, and will pop up the export meshing options dialog right away, without needing to deal with the file name dialog. Then cancel out of the mesh dialog after you see what the mesh looks like.

Sweet! Thanks for the extra tip, Michael and I will set up that shortcut. -L.
