Hi Misty,

The Group Editor in Poser can not create new groups of polygons, per se.  That is, you can not create new polygons, i.e., increase the total number of polygons in a figure.  You can only use the Grouping Tool to select certain (existing) polygons to assign material or assign them to a "smoothing group" as opposed to a group of polygons that is not assigned to a smoothing group.  Polygons that are not assigned to a smoothing group may have hard edges as opposed to smooth edges.

Smooth edges are used for figures to smooth transitions between body parts, etc.

Hard (not smooth) edges are normally used for mechanical type of object props such as a box that would look funny if you smoothed the edges.  That could make it look like a round balloon.

Hope this help asplain things
