Group;

I'm trying to figure out how to increase the amount of faces of a solid cylinder.
I have some pipes that I want to unfold and create a pattern for.
The cylinders that I'm working with are 4" O.D. and they're created with only 8 faces; which isn't that accurate when unfolded.
Is there some variable to increase the amount of faces created?
Thanks in advance.

Is FACETRES the variable you are looking for? I have no idea about 3D, so if it is not that, I don't know.

I figured it out.
Thanks for the reply.
It's the isolines command, that allows you select the amount of faces created for your solids.

That would be for a surface and not a solid.
The isolines variable did the trick.
