Circular object looking like non-circluar object

Circular object looking like non-circluar object

Circular object looking like non-circluar object

(OP)
This is about circular hole/object.. I've part which has so many circular objects/hole, but those are looking in octagonal shape.

I've tried making those into Circular hole with the help of View -> Operation -> Regenerate work. but doesn't working.. Can any pls help me on this?

Goto Preferences - Visualization... - Faceting (tab) and change the Tolerance of Shaded view and Advanced Visualization Views from Standard to Fine or Extra Fine. See if it has effect on the model.

Mike,

Thanks for your response, but that is not affecting to model.. I don't see where is the Tolerance of Shaded view but I see only Stadard view. Pls refer attachement.

Did you changed it to fine or ultra fine? Also at the Advanced Visualization Views?
Then regenerate your view.
Also try pressing CTRL+F, this will fit the model on screen, sometimes solves graphical issues.

I've tried everything, but no luck. Probably, I assume this is graphical issue.. Thanks anyway..

RE: Circular object looking like non-circluar object

Are you working in the context of an Assembly? If so, what is happening is that you are looking a 'lightweight' (i.e. faceted) representation of your Component parts. This is normal and is done so as to provide the best level of display performance as possible when working with large assemblies. However, when you are actually working on an individual part model then you are seeing the exact representations and then the advice given above by MickyV007 would be relevant, but when working in an Assembly you will need to change the display of the Components from 'Lightweight' to 'Exact', which can be done by selecting all the Components, either from the screen or from the Assembly Navigator, pressing MB3 and then selecting the 'Exact' option which will be identified by the use of a 'Diamond' () symbol.

RE: Circular object looking like non-circluar object

Try RMB - Update Display in the graphics, it should generate finer facets.
The View - operation - regenerate does not render new facet sizes as to what i have seen.

RE: Circular object looking like non-circluar object

(OP)
Toost, tried with RMB on graphics display, didn't worked, but John's tricks worked..

John, Thanks for your detailed informed. Yes, whatever you're described absolutely correct. This is working fine...


Thanks all....

RE: Circular object looking like non-circluar object

Have you messed with the settings under Preferences > Visualization Performance? I attached a snapshot of my settings, and they seemed to solve those problems when I have them.

Also, what video card do you have on your pc? If changing those settings doesn't fix it, it may be a hardware issue.

RE: Circular object looking like non-circluar object

(OP)
Hannah4Evr - I've same setting present in NX which you've showing in attachement. Happy News is now I'm able to solve problem, but bad thing is that, I need to do each time when I open this assembly. Do we have any default setting?

RE: Circular object looking like non-circluar object

The Lightweight loading is controlled from your Load Options ( File -options - Assembly load options) , the switch is "Use Lightweight representations".
The load options is a "separate file" and not from the customer defaults. You can scroll down and press "Save as default", when you press, read the queline to see where it got saved and in what name. Plain text file.
