The only reason I said something was, I'm having much better luck with objects that I smooth myself in a modeling program where I can can control hard and soft edges. odf's subdivision subdivides and smooths everything, even corners ;o). Not sure how that can be worked around, but if that's possible then that would be the ideal solution. But it would be even better if it could be done on a per object basis rather than every prop or every figure. Tall order, I know ;o)
