4mm ball - can it be made
-
I was trying to make a 4mm ball (sphere) with a 2mm radius. And SU 6 & 7 wont do it?? Strange...I tried a larger radius eg 50mm no problem. So I changed the presion in the model info tab / units to 0.000000mm thinking this might do it..nope.
Anyone know why or if they can suggest a fix, or even better attach a 4mm ball for me thanks a lot...and have a better day than Im having..
come on red face me!!

Use the Scale *1000
Make your bullet (so 4000 mm)or any thing you want
Then Scale /1000
SU has some difficulties with little things so help it

Try drawing a cube of about the same size, zoom in to extent, and then draw a sphere.
If what you're drawing is too small compared to your viewing area, SU sometimes doesn't respond correctly.
I attach a sphere of 4mm diameter.

Thankyou Gentleman.
1st I used the follow me tool which is why I had the problem.
2nd I draw a 4mm cube then a large sphere and scaled it down so that it fitted within the cube. I guess this is the only way to do it.
PS I didnt have a problem viewing it close up. It may have something to do with the number off polylines in the cirle when using the followme tool??
done now.. cheers

Hi folks.
SU cannot close a face when one side is less than 1 mm approx (1/16 inch). Of course, with a 4 mm diameter sphere you will end up with very small facets and these will not close.
Simply pretend that your sphere is 400 mm in diameter and then, after you have drawn it, scale it down by a
factor of 0.01.Just ideas.
