So I finished this model and I exported it as .obj to clean up the scene. After I reopen this .obj file in maya I try to harden some of the edges on this model but it no longer works, however soften edge still works fine, anyone know why?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much

I've got this problem too (even not messing with file formats (obj)). I the F1 doc, it is written something like you can change edge softness only if the angle is higher or lower dont really remember/understood). Soften/harden edges in Maya is still misterious to me. Need some help too !

sometimes the normals of the object even in native format screws up, i usually run through the list of normals functions in the edit polygons menu...click on set to face, average normals, conform, soften/harden...

set to face should make everything hard edged, try that first.

Yeah, 'Set to Face' usually fixes that problem for me.
