I'm learning how to use quick surface reconstruction to reverse engineer. But when I generate a cylinder with the base surface recognition tool, the cylinder becomes an octagon. I thought it was the graphical interface that lightened the visualization but in reality no, once printed on my 3D printer, the result is an octagon and not a cylinder. While I used the cylinder function well. And I find this problem on all the tools of Quick surface reconstruction, for example, the 3D curve tool, the curve doesn't go through all the points and is supposed to make a spline but it makes straight strokes instead.
Hello I don't have this module but it still looks like a setting of the options either on the function or in the catia "Quick Surface Reconstruction" options
Also look at the "Digitized Shape Editor" options, I don't have either but I know that these two modules are closely related.
this coarse display can come from the 3D display accuracy (Option=>General=>Display=>Performance=>3D Accuracy).
If this value is too large, Catia will display polygons instead of circles (usually I put a value of 0.01 or 0.02mm).
When 3D printing based on an .stl file, the accuracy of the stl when it is saved also depends directly on this parameter, which can explain the 3D printing of the octagon.
