      You beat me down on that last go 'round. 😳 Here's some guesses. Screen resolution, hardware acceleration, you know that 0x, 4x stuff?

      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

        Here are my settings

        Funny thing is, I've used the exact same outer wheel with other models, and they all look fine at a distance

            I'd expect that due to screen resolution. You need smaller pixels. It's similar to what I get with screw threads. For example, when I zoom out on the model so I can see all of it, this bench vise screw the threads look like this:
            screw 1.png

            Zoomed in it looks better. In an effort to improve the appearance of the threads and prevent them from looking totally black, I've hidden one edge on the major diameter of the threads.

              BUT....I've never changed my screen resolution, and like I said I've used this exact same outer wheel with several models, and like the example I posted they all look fine at a distance. How can that be?

                Turn off fast feedback and see....

                Export a 2D graphic and see...

                Get a hammer and a shovel. Hit the computer with a hammer and dig a hole with the shovel.

                Put the computer in the hole a cover over.

                Don't it still appear?

                  😆 Sounds like too much work (especially since the land I live on used to be a huge brick factory and if you dig down more than half a foot you hit bricks. Guess they just buried their inventory when they closed down).

                  Oh, and when I turned off fast feedback and then turned it back on, my options changed from this...

                  to this....7.png
                  Any idea how to get it back the way it was?

                    Do you by chance have a motherboard with integrated graphics, and somehow have you selected that device? Obviously, the scroll bars are missing in one of those images. Did you click on the Details button to see which device is featured? I am not sure if this is any help.

                      It magically returned to normal, apparently done by the putergeist that has taken up residence in my machine. I think my graphics card is getting tired, I ordered a new one this afternoon, hopefully it will, if not solve some problems, at least not cause anymore and maybe keep some new ones from popping up.

                      Yeah. 😒 I also believe in the Tooth Fairy

                        Wow, just two more posts and I hit the magic 1,000! (well, one more after I post this one) And in a couple of weeks it'll be my two-year anniversary here at Sketchucation. Seems strange that I've only been doing this for two years, seems like maybe ten.
