This command transforms the surfacic geometrical features into meshes. This command is particularly useful if you want to use a geometrical shape in a command as a mesh.

Select the surfacic geometrical(s) shape(s) you want to convert and launch the command.

This command has 2 options:

Deviation: this value is the deviation between the geometrical feature and the discretized feature (mesh or polyline). In this option, points are not evenly spaced. The result is an object with the minimum number of points to satisfy the criteria.
Points evenly spaced. Average distance between points: the option will use a grid of points/vertices to discretize the feature.

If you want to use the default parameter, put 0 in one of the two fields. See below for details about default values.

Note

In the case of a plane, the deviation value is fixed to 0 and cannot be modified.

Note

The Limit plane mode is available in this command so that at anytime you can press CTRL+Space shortcut to move the limit planes as you please.

Feature	Default number of points/vertex	Comment	Feature where deviation value has no meaning: forced to 0

	64	32 points on the base & top circle. No other points in between
