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, Eric Albrecht

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.
