      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!

        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...

          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.
