Controls how objects are created, and their materials.
...
Note: For options that control how 3D objects are displayed, see ACIS.
...
The ACIS engine is Available in TurboCAD Pro and Platinum only. Therefore, you can only work with solids and surfaces in the Pro version, though TurboCAD surfaces are available in all versions.
Create 3D Object As: Choose between Solid (ACIS representation) and TC Surface (TurboCAD representation), or SMesh, (Smooth Surface Mesh). 3D objects are created as solids by default, but you can change this Properties setting for all 3D tools, or for individual objects.
...
TC Surface objects are created using the TurboCAD internal graphics engine. The "inner body" concept does not apply to surfaces, but when an object is trimmed or cut, the resultant object is entirely covered by surface elements.
You can create surfaces that are ACIS objects by converting existing objects. See Surface and Solid Conversion Operations.
Smooth Mesh - SMesh A smooth mesh or "smesh" is a surface object which can be form organic shapes more easily than traditional solids and surfaces. This can be accomplished by specifying a smoothing value to the smesh.
...
Note: The thickness is assigned perpendicular to the workplane in which the object was drawn, regardless of the current workplane.

Faceting
Faceting can be controlled on an individual object basis via the Properties of the object. Object specified faceting overrides the global setting in the ACIS settings.

Two entities with new faceter options:
