Segmented Objects

To create segmented circles, ellipses, and cylinders use the Number of Segments parameter on the Command Tab of the Properties dialog as shown below. To convert an object from true surface to segmented, do the following:

1. Select the circle, ellipse, or cylinder in the modeler window or in the History Tree.
2. In the command tab of the properties window (shown docked below), change the Number of Segments to an integer value of three or greater and press Enter.
   

   Values of 1 and 2 are not valid values for the circle, ellipse, or cylinder command and will cause an error.
