A Way to Smoothe a Jagged Line?
-
Hello,
In SketchUp 8, Windows XP, I was constructing a somewhat complex object. Part of the process was to intersect a cylinder with a sphere and then use Intersect Faces to delete the cutout made by the sphere.
Unfortunately the edge of the cylinder that remained after deleting the sphere is jagged. Is there a way to smooth out a jagged line of that type?
Thanks,
Bill -
Anywhere that 2 facetted surfaces meet will result in jaggies.
Try increasing the edges on both the cylinder and the sphere to reduce the size of the segments used.

The solution that worked pretty well for me was to fill in the jaggies with little triangles and then hide the lines where they joined the main element.

When making fairings (among other things, such as access doors) for my airplane models I run into this jaggies frequently.
To solve it best, requires the deletion of the faces affected and redraw the interface to suit.
Curviloft plugin helps a lot as well.
