I’m having some trouble getting a smooth surface on curved parts which do not
have an LGEO substitue. Mesh Enhancer does a great job on triangular meshes,
however there is a problem in parts with some sort of faceted symmetry. For
example, the Technic Power Tyre has a subpart which is made of triangles. Mesh
Enhancer takes care of this. But this subpart is repeated many times around the
circumference and the facets between objects are not triangles and are
therefore not replaced with smooth triangles. Does anyone have a solution to
this?
Thanks,

| (...) You could inline the subparts so that L3P outputs the triangles as one subpart. This will allow Mesh Enhancer to work on these triangle as one unit. Let me know if you need help with this. -Orion (15 years ago, 3-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| (...) I've often felt it unfortunate that the LDraw format doesn't support normal vectors. They're not a substitute for cone/cylinder replacements, but they go a long way toward making objects *look* smoother. -Mike (15 years ago, 4-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
