      How do you control the polycount on a REVOLVEDSHELL? RESOL and TOLER don’t seem to have any effect.

      Hi, try REVOLVEDSHELLANGULAR. Does it do what you need?

      I gave this a go, but not quite the results I was looking for. I need to reduce the polycount, but still have a smooth appearance. Similar to what a REVOLVE will look like. See attached images.

      The same vase with a REVOLVE

      Maybe REVOLVEDSHELLANGULAR{2} with status 2?

      No – same result. There doesn’t seem to be a way to smooth the edges, like you can do with a REVOLVE, without massively increasing the polycount.
