increase resolution.
(OP)
Hello
When I zoom in too much on a curved body I can see it as many straight pieces instead of a soft curve.
In NX8.5 where is the option to change this "resolution"?
For example I would like to be able to zoom in ten times more before seeing these artifacts.
I'm designing small pieces for a watch.
Regards.

You probably are using the lightweight option in your load options...
Try and right click on your components and select "Show Exact".

JohnRBaker, I'm using NX8.5.
nutace, I think "lightweight" option is only for assemblies, but my problem also happen in a single part body.
RE: increase resolution.
There have been improvements starting in NX9 that will handle the tessellation process more intelligently.

cowski, that is what I was looking for. I thought faceting option was only for facet bodies not for exact geometries.
So, It doesn't have anything to do with the tolerance options?
Regenerate work doesn't change anything for me.
Changing the faceting options works, thanks.
I would like to know when does NX use the "shaded views" resolution settings and when the "advanced visualization views" settings? Is it automatic or I can choose?
I've found that setting "facet scale" to "view" allows me to have always a soft view no matter the zoom I use.
Does the "view" setting have any drawback?. I don't understand why anybody would choose the "part" setting instead.
regards
RE: increase resolution.
If/when you zoom in and start to see the tessellation, you can issue a regenerate work command and it will recompute the tessellation based on your view. It works, but can have a negative impact on performance when you zoom back out (until you regenerate at the new zoom level). It sounds like changing the resolution is a better option for you rather than regenerating every time you zoom.
Advanced visualization view is used when you are doing a special rendering (applying materials, lights, background, etc). Possibly it is also used in studio mode, but I'm not sure about that.

The Update Display option is not included in all "roles" by default.
Advanced Visualization should rather (?) be the studio display mode and probably also the Face Analysis display mode. The Static rendering has it's own setting. ( at least in 8.5.) - see attachment.

Tomas

Thank you all

Thanks for keeping me on my toes!
Yes, the update display command will update the tessellation. Update display will use the geometry in the parasolid kernel, regenerate work will recalculate everything from scratch (including recalculating the geometry in the kernel). Update display is faster since it has less work to do, and the difference to regenerate work is barely discernible (if at all).
