Quote - > Quote - I have a two-piece setting and diamond earring. They are in two pieces because my experience (perhaps erroneous) has been that if I combine metal object (that needs rounding by Poser) and diamond  object (that I definitely don't want rounded) I will get rounded surfaces on my diamond which looks like poo.

...

Or is there another solution I'm not considering?

You can assign different Smoothing ID's to the metal and diamond polygons using Poser's grouping tool.
Selecting the polys shouldn't be much of a problem as you can select by material zone.

This should work for Poser 6 and up...

I've done this only once some time ago, but it's covered in the Poser Reference Manual.

Oh, I think that's probably your best bet Robyn :o).
