====== Mesh Quality ======

=== Parameter ("quality") ===

**Quality** is a global parameter that affects all geometry to be output.

  * **''quality''** (//int%//):
    Optional overall mesh-generation resolution, specified as a percentage from 1 % to 100 %.
    * Default is **25 %** (“Standard” quality). I recommend since version 1.4.0.100 using 15 as Standart with AUTO shading.
    * Values above **25 %**(below from 50% for version below 1.4.0.100) denote as "Hi-Res" meshes, with **100 %** providing the maximum detail.
    
Higher percentages produce finer, more detailed meshes at the cost of increased computation time and memory.

<code json>
"intersection": "VERTICAL",
"quality": 50,
"uv": {
	"patchSize": 150,
	"uvorigin": "ORIGIN",
	"uOffset": 0,
	"vOffset": 0
},

"paths": [
{
	"id": "board",
	"path": [ .........]
</code>

The quality parameter will achieve greater subdivision for all Bézier paths.

It can also be used as an override in the paths array. For example:

<code json>
{
	"paths": [
	{
	  "id": "board",
	  "quality": 40,
	  "path": [
	{
	  "type": "M",
			...
</code>

This will affect subdivision of Bézier paths and Arc paths.
