v5.0

Changes display smoothness setting for NURBS curves/surfaces to high quality. Specifically, the four values under the Parametric - Steps group on the Hardware Display tab of the object's Geometry Approximation property page comprise these 'smoothness settings'.

Geometry approximation specifies how polygons, surfaces, and curves should be tessellated (divided into triangles at rendering time). The various methods of approximation let you reduce the number of triangles in the geometry of an object and still render a very smooth surface.

Python Example

# Create a Sphere primitive
Application.CreatePrim( "Sphere", "NurbsSurface", "MySphere" )
# Set Display quality to high
Application.SetNURBSDisplayQualityHigh()
