Thanks for this hint. Haven’t thought about this.

If I understand you correctly, this answer only applies to the case when I want to export the object to another application? But my main problem here is, that the sharpness of new edges is in my view not consistent. I don’t know if this is a bug. So I ask here. > To this end I have done a Video Tutorial on how to do this in > Realsoft 3D, any version. > http://www.tidalsound.com/realsoft/edgeloops/ > This is in FLASH format, so should load up in most browsers.

Nice idea. Only two small comments from me: 1. The volume of the sound is a little bit low. On the other side, there seem to be some overdrive effects. Perhaps you should make some tests here with a compressor. 2. Why is the AnimationWindow visible? As you don’t use it in the video, I would suggest to switch it of in the view menu. > Hope you find this useful Yes. But why are you using the knife tool? I have tested it. With the simple face selection in combination with the Alt key, it’s faster. Best wishes, Marc Michael
