I have recently upgraded to a new computer (Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, Quadro P2000 GPU, 32GB DDR4 RAM) Ought to be enough for anybody…Right?.. I have also upgraded to Rhino 6 and RhinoCAM 2019. I have 9 years of experience with Rhino4 then Rhino5 as well as multiple versions of RhinoCAM along the way.
I have encountered the issue in the past where curved surfaces are displayed as facets between surface isocurves. I then noticed that RhinoCAM was creating toolpaths that followed the facets. It was always an easy fix in Rhino5, Rhino Options>Mesh>Smooth and slower. If that wasn’t enough for complex surfaces, >Custom>Density: 1.0. Problem solved, RhinoCAM would create nice smooth toolpaths.
This is my issue, creating new parts in Rhino6 I can immediately see that curved surfaces show up as jagged facets. When I try to adjust Render mesh quality, it either does not improve, it improves(but still not even close to aceptable) or in most cases gets worse when I try to adjust >Density: and >Detailed controls.
Hello - in the ‘detailed controls’ for meshing, please try setting ‘Maximum distance edge to surface’ to .01. Any better?
(RefreshShade after the change, btw, and also make sure ‘Jagged seams’ is not checked)
Yes, It did improve but still not perfect and not as good as what I would expect on my old computer with Rhino5. This was just a simple cylinder as a basic example, I will post an actual file which prompted me to seek help.
Thank you, very much appreciated. The issue has been resolved. Here is the result for those in the future reading this thread. RhinoCAM 2019 is also producing nice smooth toolpaths now.
