Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Soften/Harden edges?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anybody has had the same strange problem as myself? I'm trying to use the Polygon Soften/Harden edges tool, the tool works correctly when converting hard edges to soft but just does nothing when i try to convert them back again????
once thier soft they have to stay soft unless i undo all the way back to before i appied the tool? Any ideas?

Wait a sec, i've just exported the model and then imported back and now I can't soften or harden!! What the hell?

Here's the scene file see if anybody else has any luck user added image

All of your faces are seperated. You'll need to select all vertices and merge with a distance of .0001. It'll work, then.
