Facet Deviation

The smoothness (tesselation) of curved curtain wall edges is controlled by the FACETDEV variable. Specify the facet
deviation to set the number of facets to display on curved objects. This must be set before converting a polyline to a
curtain wall.
The facet deviation is available only on the command line by typing -AecFacetDev.
The number you set as the facet deviation defines the maximum distance from the chord to the arc, the chord being
an edge that is created from faceting the curve, to the true mathematical arc. The facet deviation has a range of greater
than zero (0) and no upper limit.
