Problem with long cylinder.

[Onion7]

Hi all, When I sketch a 3" dia. circle and then extrude it 16' into a cylinder, the cylinder will automatically change to a 14 sided cylinder!? It will not at shorter lengths, 2' for example. How can this issue be resolved? What am I doing wrong?

I'm using Fusion 360 on a powerful laptop.

I just tried and it works ok for me.

Can you get a screen gab and export the file as an f3d and attach here.

Thanks Mark

OK I've played with this a bit and I think I see what you're seeing if I zoom in, although it looks like there are flats it is still a circle if you measure it. I'don't think Fusion has any adjustments for display quality on this sort of thing.

I find it odd that this professional of a platform has issues like this. Possibly it has to do with keeping the processing power required for working in the model at a minimum. Autodesk needs to address this issue unless there is a sufficient reason.

Thanks for the input.
