Cris,

Sketchup always does this, to any imported polygon (ACAD is vector based), and it's especially noticeable on circles and ellipses. Sketchup will break a circle into a default number of 24 sides, but you can change this by highlighting the circle, then inputting a higher number in the vcb, followed by an 's'. The s standing for 'sides' I suppose. Hope that helps

Hi thanks everyone for the responses, could someone elaborate on the above advice. I've tried to do as the instructions say but i can't get it to work.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to import an elipse from AutoCad into Sketchup. The problem is that although in Cad the Elipse is rounded, when i import into Sketchup it is very badly faceted. Is there a way to smooth out the elipse in Sketchup or specify the number of sides /facets during the import process?

Thanks

Cris

I have no idea what this particular ruby is or where to get it from, can you post a link and give a description please?
