<but if you could give us a basic example file, that would help us greatly.> If Jonas still has the project file I sent him to test for an abnormal program termination error, then you can use it. hide everything. Unhide the "skull", "Jaw", "Chest", and "Uparm" (right or left) objects. The Skull has some unsmoothable faces on the top towards the back, the upper arm has some around the base near the elbow (I created extra faces here for a smooth connection to the elbow), as well as on the inner side of the deltoid and in a couple other patches as well. The chest has a few extremely prominent unsmoothable faces around the top of the shoulders. I should tell you that Martin Foster of Animatrix sent a message yesterday that cleared up the majority of the problem, but not all of it. He suggested that I select all vertices and then weld/vertice/selected and voila! The faces were mostly now smoothable. The object in question here is the uparmrt object. Before the weld operation, there were a couple dozen unsmoothable faces but afterwards I was able to smooth most of them, but not all-there were still a few near the elbow with hard edges. The same was true of the chest-most of the faces would now smooth, but the edge between the pectorals and shoulders was still hard. I hope you've still got that project, but if you don't, let me know and I'll send it to you again. Andy
