Adding Segments to Circles and Arcs

Hi,

I have a model built already, and I was wondering if it is possible to add more segments in circles and arches that are already built in the model without redoing the model or shape, thanks

I am afraid that once that they are already affected with some other operation, you´ll have to start from scratch.

your best bet would probably to download subdivide and smooth from smustard. it's like $10 and extremely worth the money. It's wonderful for taking low poly objects and smoothing them out to a nice high poly smooth object.

I have tool that changes the number of segments in multiple selections of arcs/circles - rather like the Entity Info does for one arc... However, like Entity Info it can't change them if they have connected geometry that is not coplanar... Only works on arcs that don't have 3D faces etc connected to them...

Remaking an 'arch' is the only way - of course if the model were set up using repetitive components etc then it might be less time consuming ?
