    Hi all,

    I have not used the smooth tool to date but would like to know how it functions. I have created a moulding to a building(attached) and would like to smooth the curved elements of it. Any help on how to do this would be appreciated,

    great forum, inspiring stuff, thank you all for your assistance to date.

      I simply selected it and used the soften edges option.

      If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

        Essentially the smooth tool tells SU to treat the 2 faces either side of the line as a single face, at least for the purposes of appearance.

        The easiest way to use it is by selecting all the lines you want to smooth->right clicking one of the lines->soften/smooth edges. If you then play around with the little slider that pops up you should be able to smooth out your lines.

        Alternatively you can smooth lines using the and holding ctrl, not really suited to smoothing lots of stuff in one go, though.

          Thank you guys, that's really satisfying to do, just looked at your webpages/blogs - when im more confident with SU i'll ask about the whole rendering thing!

          thank you for taking the time to respond,
