Hey Shari, yes we could increase the number of segments as much as we want but that makes the file size huge. I just did a default cylinder 3' in rad and 6' hi in SU and the file size was only around 9KB. Then i did another one the same size, but with 200 segments and the file size went up to 43KB. Almost 5 times more on a simple cylinder. Just imagine if there are lots of curved objects in the scene. Of course Vue would not have any problem with that, I was just thinking about the way they render. Thanks again, Nick
