I'm fairly new to Maya and I was wondering if it has some way of setting smoothing groups. I've searched the docs some but I haven't found what I'm looking for.

I'm asking because I just imported some of my models that are in .obj format and some portions of the model seem smooth and other funky shaded. First I thought it was the imported material, but no, then I checked the normals, they're fine as well. So I was thinking it was some weird smoothing issue. Any ideas?

Try edit polygons ---> normals --> set to face on the faces that are all jacked up.

Thanks Lyr. You were right on the money. Looks like it should.
