I'm not sure I understand your writing very well. By "charmful" edge option do you mean "chamfer"?

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. Are you trying to make the edges of your model hard, or create holes in the geometry. It seems like you are making clothing for a character and trying to create holes in the geometry for appendages.

Could you please clarify?

nope, still don't have it. its chamfer edge. Anyway chamfer edge is comparable to Bevel in Maya. You could also probably use extrude face and then a scale. Although I am still not sure what you mean by sharp edges and what your looking to do.

smoothing groups in Max are comparable to Maya's soften/harden edge normals tool. that would create hard edges.

need more info, maybe pics. When you post your message there is a button below it for attachments where you can add pics.
