Number of segments, rise

Number of segments

The polygonization value is interpreted as the number of segments. The value for Number of segments defines the number of segments used to approximate a curve. In the case of a circle, for example, a value of 120 means that a full circle is approximated by a 120-sided polygon. The higher the degree of accuracy you require or the larger the radius, the higher the number of segments should be used to approximate a circle. You can enter a value between 8 and 360.

(A) Segments in circle = 12; this will produce an angle of 30°

Rise

The polygonization value is interpreted as the rise. The value you enter for Rise defines the maximum rise of the secant relative to the arc (in mm). As a result, the curve is polygonized so that the maximum offset of the polyline's segment to the curve is less than or equal to the value your specified. This setting produces more accurate results than the number of segments.

(B) Rise (38mm or less)
