This setting affects mesh that is converted from another object using the
MESHSMOOTH command. (For a complete list of objects that can be converted
to mesh, see Objects That Can Be Converted to Mesh.) This value can also be
set in the Mesh Tessellation Options dialog box.
Permissible values range from 0 to 100, and set the height/width ratio of the
face. Use this variable to prevent long, thin faces that can result from
cylindrical object conversions. Smaller values result in more, better-formed
faces, but can affect performance. Set this value to 0 to turn it off.
If the value you enter is less than 1, the ratio calculation is based on 1/n. For
example, if you enter 0.2, the variable value is 1/0.2 = 5.
NOTE The value of this system variable reflects the value for objects with no
smoothness.
