Using the Smooth Operation

The Smooth Operation divides the faces that make up the selected object, and attempts to smooth it.

You may set a smoothing condition for the Smooth Operation. Each point in an object is normally shared by a number of faces. The angle between the faces that share a point is calculated and smoothing occurs at that point if the angle meets the smoothing condition.

For example, a cube has an angle of 90 degrees between faces, so a condition of "Less than 90" will result in no smoothing, but a condition of "More than 89" will result in smoothing.
