Creating Segmented Geometry

For some structures, you may want to create segmented as opposed to smooth (or True) surfaces. The following figure shows a comparison of a cylinder created with true surfaces and with segmented surfaces.

The following model objects can be created as segmented structures:


Circle, Ellipse, Cylinder
