Encountered a weird effect today. I use sketch to draw a circle 4" in diameter, then Extruded Boss/Base to basically generate a "can."
The problem is, the extrusion doesn't give a smooth surface. It's faceted. It generates a solid that's a set of flat surfaces, rather than showing a smooth exterior.
Here's a closeup of the problem:

You can see the blue line of the sketch (a circle) but the Extrusion uses a polygon that approximates the circle. The contour appears to be formed of ~48 line segments instead of a smooth circle.
Is this an adjustment somewhere?
