      I wrote a tool to mimic 'Entity Info' - where you can manually change the number of segments in a selected arc IF it's not 'constrained' by connected geometry...

        you could also adjust your style settings

        style->edit->edge settings->endpoints.

        turn endpoints off and you won't see all of that even on an exploded arc.

        Wow, that was easy.. now it looks neat. Thanks!

            hi there,
            these jagged lines are derived from unifying two curved solids into a cross vault. i am trying to make the line of interface curved (the groin). Any ideas? see image below, many thanks.jagged lines at the interface of the two curved surfaces

              Build a framework of curves and loft them.

              Curviloft, Extrude Tools etc... will do the heavy lifting

                i have already tried that but it does not produce what this is i.e. the intersection of two surfaces. And that is also quite a lot of work, making all the lofts to exactly follow the geometry. There has to be an easier way to make this work.

                      Rich, I think he has a curve the other way also, in other words, the quadrants are domed.

                        Curved or straight...profiles are profiles.

                        Proper topology with segment count is all that is needed

                          I agree, I was just pointing out the difference, and why he may be having trouble. If you intersect spheres incorrectly you will get a jagged line.
