[chimerax-users] Mesh resolution/smoothness

Hi, I am trying to generate STL files out of protein models. Often the problem is that the mesh doesn't as smooth as the models (see pics below). I wonder if this is an artifact of rendering in ChimeraX or the mesh is actually hard coded to have certain resolution, which makes it look like this? I tried to find out why and ended up in custom_x3d function but didn't notice anything. Post-export smoothing is an option but I wonder, if that's the optimal approach? Perhaps, smoothing can create collisions between 2 STL models, where a higher resolution export may avoid this.
