Hi Kevin,

This is correct, in general there is no way to draw a border of a smooth closed 3D surface. It is possible to draw a border around the shape's projection, but this will probably look strange when you rotate the chart. We don't draw borders for cut edge bars too, although they are not smooth surfaces.

Don't worry about answering this - I realise the answer is because the SmoothEdgeBar can be morphed into an ellipsoid, so border lines don't make sense.

Hi

I'm confused. When I was using bars of type Bar, they displayed with a border in both 2D and 3D. Now I am experimenting with smooth edge bars which look great in 2D, but show no border whatsoever in 3D, so they look really weird. Is this becuase the border cannot be drawn on the smoother area, or for another reason? The only code that has changed is the bar type.

Thanks

Kevin
