That's because if you look at your model from the side it's probably one long polygon. Divide it into quads the way the front of your model is.

yes! :bounce:
the solution was to make sode edges visible from side. does meshsmooth works only on visible edges???

On polys - yes. Don't know about editable mesh.

Yeap. Visible lines in a mesh as well.

However, you can tell MeshSmooth to work on triangles. When you tell it to, I believe it works on all edges - visible or invisible. I'm pretty sure.

edit: I just checked real quick and operating on triangles is not dependent on visible lines.
