Smoothing Objects

The smoothing commands smooth all selected polygon and polyline vertices in one step. There are three smoothing options—Bézier Spline, Cubic Spline, or Arc. The No Smoothing command changes smoothed vertices back into unsmoothed corners.

To smooth an object:

1.	Select the object(s) to smooth.

2.	Select Modify > Poly Smoothing. From the sub-menu, select the smoothing method to use.

 

Option	Description
No Smoothing	Creates straight lines and angled vertices at the control points
Bézier Spline Smoothing	Creates curves pulled towards but not touching the control points
Cubic Spline Smoothing	Creates curves that pass through the control points
Arc Smoothing	Creates fillet-like curves at the control points. The arc radius is based on the current fillet radius of the Fillet tool (see Fillet Tool). If no radius is set, the largest radius that can fit between each vertex is used.

The object is smoothed.
