* **Prevent Errant Lines** prevents extra lines from appearing on meshes with degenerate polygons. These are particularly prevalent on the top of a Cone object in 3ds Max but may also appear on other objects. Lasershow Converter MAX normally treats degenerate polygons as back-facing. This helps rendering speed, but it may fool the Folds detector in Lasershow Converter MAX into thinking that a line should be generated where it should not. If you check the **Prevent Errant Lines** check box, Lasershow Converter MAX will examine degenerate polygons more closely and give them different treatment. This requires longer rendering time, but provides perfect results. | * **Prevent Errant Lines** prevents extra lines from appearing on meshes with degenerate polygons.
