Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping

In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

it looks like its nurbs,

and if that is the case you might want to check the tesselation settings in the attribute editor for each surface.

It is a nurb generated from the extrution of a circle throght a line path.
I rebuilded the curve and had the same results. All surfaces that were obtained from the extrude method give the same result. I am still in the same place.

Any idea?
Thanks very much for the answer.

I believe you can change the tesselation setting like Cali said. If you don't know how to do that, you can always add more isoparms. Right-click, select isoparms. Select two isoparms side by side. Choose Edit Nurbs>Insert Isoparms options box. Set it up so that you insert two isoparms inbetween your selection. Press close or ok. You can do this to all your isoparms to make it smoother. Does it work well?
