Hello, I'm very new to Carrara and am unable to find the command to select all the edges of a model to crease and eliminate the smoothing. In the model room, C5 Demo, model is imported from Cinema4D. Model is complicated and the scene I imported to experiment with has many models in it - ie: many edges to crease. Carrara seems to have smoothed everything regardless of angle of adjoining edges when some were smoothed and some not in the original. It sure would be nice to be able to select all edges then set the angle degree to smooth and not to smooth all at once. Is that possible? Many thanks. wb Oh yes, I am reading the .pdf user guide - REALLY! But it is over 900 pages, repetitive, the pics are near zero res. I guess this is just the Demo version - sure hope so! Anyway I am at page 736. Still can't find what I need here.... regards, wb

It is possible. With the model open and completely selected in the Vertex Room, choose the pull down menu named "Model" and travel down to "Crease Edges..." A dialog box will open allowing you to determine the range of angle to crease.

Unless your entire scene is constructed as a single model, you'll have to do this for each model. :-P

Thank you Mark - just wht I was looking for. And yes, naturally, there are quite a lot of separate models to do this to!!! Guess I'll be figuring out how to model in Cararra soon! ;)

You can do one better in the assembly room (vs one by one in the vm) in C5 Select all the models you want to change the smoothing on. Look under the "Edit" drop down menu, near the bottom is the option to change the smoothing of the selected objects. There you can do what you want to do. wayne k guam usa

I keep learning this program :-) Thanks Wayne.

Thank you both, The model room works for me - maybe the assby. room function is disabled in the Demo version - but is something to remember when I get the real software. regards, wb.
