I've noticed something odd that of you have a group selected and minimize and restore the SU window - soft/smooth edges inside the group will suddenly become unsoftened. Could it be you're affected by this?
to ThomThom - well, I tried to re-create the effect you talk about, and of course could not do it. It seems to happen to me when closing out SU altogether, then re-opening it. That is, the lines previously "smoothed" do not stay smoothed in the newly opened window. Sorry, I was imprecise in my original post -- did I say "hidden"? what I meant was "smoothed" - actually, the two merge together in my mind, since once an edge is smoothed, it also becomes hidden. But what happens to me, is that they become visible (un-hidden), and so far, the fact that they are no longer smoothed does not seem to be an issue with this model - it looks OK for what I am doing. I will observe more closely.
to TIG - you are on to something when you suggest that the lines in question be "hidden" with shift + erase. I have tried that in a little quick experiment. Although the result was inconclusive, as the lines did not re-appear when closing-opening the model, I will see how that solution holds up over the next few days. Here is a screen grab for you.
BTW to ThomThom - those are the coolest glasses.. what the heck are they?
double thanks
