Hello Chris,
intending to finish this thread in a way that perhaps other users could benefit and additionally search engines more easily can find it, I'd like to have some more info or confirmation(s) if possible.
After looking at the advanced expert settings you mentioned, I can't see they would influence the precision in question - do I see this correctly? Precision in the meaning clarified by jimb
here.
To recall and phrased somewhat more concise:
To be controlled is the precision of the CAD-model not only visible by the user but, far more importantly, as seen by other machines.
Machines for instance like 3-d printers, laser cutters, CNC machines and so forth.
Hereby assuming these machines are completely 'dumb' without any postprocessing on the shapes of the 3-D model in production. Since such machines can be different in their interpretation of the CAD-Model, the 'dumb' assumption is made to be 'on the safe side' for a user.
For comprehension:
Intendedly or not, one result could be: a perfectly round cylinder by design has been machined with a number of plane surfaces instead of a smooth round surface. The same could happen with fillets for instance. (More I can't think of in the moment.)
Are there more controls existing in FC than 'Maximum deviation ...' and 'Maximum angular ...' in the tesselation settings available?
If yes, these need to be added, if no, the context is clear for finalyzing the thread.
Hope you find the time, regards
Uli
