Edit 'Sides' while make a polygon using Arc in LWCad

[azman_821009]

Hi everyone,

I don't know how can I explain. How can I edit number of the edge I want to put/ 'sides' on polygon when I use arc, curve line in LWCAD? Hope some of you guys understand what I'm trying to said?

Thanks.

Set the "Max Freeze Error" when using "Curve to Poly". The higher the number the fewer the "sides". You can't set a specific "sides" amount like you can with something like LW's disc tool.

Oh! Thank you so much. I always thinking what is "max freeze error" to do. I think LWCad should make another option to put the amount of sides for arc and curvy.

Thanks again.

I think LWCad should make another option to put the amount of sides for arc and curvy.
For an arc with uniform curvature across the entire length, a "number of sides" setting can be useful. However, for any curves where the curvature itself varies along the length, that approach isn't going to yield useful results, because it isn't taking local strength of curvature into account. You'll need a way to specify the "distribution of sides" (e.g. the length of the linear segments) as well as the angle of their intersections in those cases.

Max freeze error is a way of specifying/limiting both segment length and angle between segments, thus can cope with both uniform and non-uniform curves.
