Hey Guys,

I'm relatively new to Maya (a current and former Max user).

I wanted to know if you could select faces in Maya and apply smoothing of the normals so that the faces wouldn't appear so faceted. I'm not talking about smoothing the geometry where you would add additional faces. I guess the analogy for those of you familiar with Max would be the face/poly sub-object mode where you can select various faces and choose an angle to apply smoothing to.

Thanks in advance for any light you guys can shed on this.

Just select the edges/polygons and use Edit Polygons -> Normals -> Soften/Harden.
