      How can I get the smooth surfaces of Sketchup to show smooth in Maxwell? For example, when you create a cylinder in Sketchup, Sketchup displays it smooth even though it is made by a certain number of sides. How can I get the same effect from Maxwell?

            Most render plugins adopt this approach. Grouped geometry with smooth edges appear smooth when rendered.

            I don't have Maxwell (can't get it to work) but I guessed this was the issue.

            BTW in grouped spheres make nice disco balls πŸ‘
