Originally posted by Pure_Morning that's exactly what I mean, why do you want to avoid it? get the MJPolyTools script, makes life much easier. Alan Because it's not efficient if you have a bunch of edges to keep hard and if you still need to do some tweaking. I discovered that the kind of result I want is reachable if I extract a region of poligons who's border share the edge I want to keep hard, then combine it with the original object, merge the vertices of the edges I don't want hard and then smooth. But It's a tedious job too. Is there anywhere a split edge command?
