      I am trying to create a sphere that is very smooth. I start out with a cirle that has 128 segments and a diameter of 23.5mm.
      It will not create a whole sphere. it always leaves a hole at the top and bottom. I even tried a half sphere using an arc but the same problem.
      Is this a sketchup limitation or I am just not doing it right. Works OK with 24 segments.

        SU has an issue creating faces smaller than 1mm. Create your sphere 2350mm then scale down by 0.1 and again by 0.1 (or by 0.01) afterwards.
