-All rounded shapes have a ''resolution'' option which controls tesselation. If ''resolution'' is set to 8, then 8 polygons are used to create 360 degrees of revolution.+All rounded shapes have a ''segments'' option which controls tessellation. If ''segments'' is set to 8, then 8 segments are used to create PI * 2 radians of revolution. If the ''segments'' option is omitted, the default value is used.
  
-This allows each design to control the amount of detail present, but beware that calculations and rendering time will also increase. For example, the number of polygons increases quickly with each increase of the ''resolution'' for circles. +This allows each design to control the amount of detail present, but beware that calculations and rendering time will also increase. For example, the number of polygons increases quadratically with each increase of the ''segments'' for spheres.

-OpenSCAD like functions support the ''fn'' parameter, which is the same as ''resolution''.+
