Drawing soft/smooth lines
-
I recently finished a very complex model (see my next post re. BA-609) in which the entire surface of this airplane, and most of the interior detail is made of soft/smoothed lines. As almost all of this model could not be formed by extrusions, I was forced to draw every line, then reselect and soft/smooth it, with the exception of surface boundary lines. Selecting is not the problem per se, as I am using Toms selection utility Ruby (fantastic utility ) but it is still mostly tedious nit picky work.
Is there a way I can selectively draw directly, soft/smooth lines rather than normal "solid" edge lines?

I dont think you can't draw pre-softened lines by default, but a ruby script could be written do to that.
OR, you use the eraser tool and hold down ctrl to soften lines. That is my prefered method of softening a lot of lines, but having precision to not soften everything in the model.

2 years using SU and I never noticed that.

And pay attention that holding ctrl will soften them, and holding shift will hide them. It is important to use the right key. I virtually always want them softened, not hidden, so I tend to only use ctrl.
