You mean, viewed edge-on? I think I see what you mean. If I raise the Slices setting to 12, that smooths it a bit, but the resolution is higher, per-link. Lowering the Sections setting to 28 doesn't seem to give bad results.
But I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I'm happy to change the defaults. The current defaults for these values are just retained from the loop-making script, where they may make more sense (much like the per-ring UV mapping).
I think the real problem with the Sections is the way the spacing of the vertices of the link is working out. If you look at the innermost ring, the vertices are evenly-spaced. With the outer ring, however, they're scrunched in the straight areas and stretched in the curves. I'm trying to think about how I can alter the ring rotation handling to place the scrunching in the center ring, not the outer ring. This is something else which is less troublesome in the loop script than here.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
