do what I
want to do. Let me try to express it differently: I don't want XSI to
consider hard edges when increasing the subD level past 0. When you
subD a hard polygon edge in XSI the points don't get smoothed out (a
6-sided cube with hard edges actually stays a 6-sided cube instead of
becoming a ball). This is usually a nice feature, but it destroys the
ability to quickly preview how the cage will look in subD. So I want
XSI to disregard hard edges and smooth all points even though they're
hard edges.
I guess I could write a script that selects all edges on the mesh and
marks them "not hard" and then increases the subD level, but I'm
wondering if there's an easier way.
