perfect spheres and circles

[pr0ph3t]

Hello!

 

I am very new to a:m. I'm using A:M 2001, 8.5p+ and i'm trying to create spheres. i understand the concept and everything is going ok, except my half-circle, that i'm going to lathe into the sphere looks a bit jagged, not perfectly curved. the odd thing is, if i close the project & reopen it, it then looks fine. so, i create my sphere. so far so good. if i look at it in shaded mode, it no longer looks perfect, nor does it in wireframe any longer either, unless i save, close, and reopen the project. anyone know why this is happening or how to get around it?

 

thanks!

Perhaps you just need to punch your "page up" key a few times.

If the spline is smoothe in wireframe mode but not in shaded, that is becsuse of the onscreen resolution. You can change the onscreen resolution by using the pageup/pagedown keys. I assume this works in 8.5.
