The Document Mesh settings control the global render mesh quality for the current model.

Whenever a NURBS surface is shaded or rendered, the surface first converts into a polygon mesh. These detailed render mesh options control how the NURBS surface is converted.

You can adjust these values if you are not satisfied with the default shade and render quality.

Note

Use the Mesh command to create meshes from NURBS surfaces with settings different from Document Mesh settings
Use the RefreshShade command to regenerate an object's render mesh when it is not shaded properly.
Use the ExtractRenderMesh command to extract an object's render mesh.
Use Displacement, Edge Softening, Shutlining or Thickness to add details to an object's render mesh.
Use Custom Mesh in an object's properties to override Document Mesh settings.

Render mesh quality

Jagged and faster

Uses a lower density mesh to shade objects more quickly with some loss of quality.

Smooth and slower

Uses a higher density mesh to shade objects more accurately with some loss of speed.

Custom

Density

Fewer polygons More polygons

The slider roughly controls the density and number of mesh polygons created from NURBS surfaces.

Click Detailed controls to access the detailed settings.
