Default Two Problems

Hi All
There are two problems I am seeing with my latest version
none of which I cant work around.
First if I fragment an object and then merge it again I dont seem
to be able to smooth the object untill I have saved the model and
reloaded it.Is there something I am missing.
Secound running under windows 98se if I exit AC3D and try to restart
the program without shutting the computer down then I get a "fatal error"
crash and I have to do a forced shutdown of windows which leads to a
disk scan on restart.The work around for this is to not shut down AC3D
untill I am ready to shut the computer down or at least not restart AC3D
untill I have done a reboot.

Cheers

Hi,
I suppose that by "smooth the object" you mean "subdivide the object" ?
What actions do you perform to subdivide it ?
What happens when you try to do your subdivision ?

Hi luuckyy
No I mean the shadding on the surfaces.If I fragment an
object for what ever reason and then do a merge on the object
the only shadding I get is flat untill I save and reload the model
then I can select flat or smooth.It is not a great problem but
just thought I may be doing something wrong.

Not a great problem indeed, but you're right.
I've done a test with a sphere, fragmented it, merged all, optimized the vertices ...
switched the object to smooth shading, selected a surface and the bottom AC3D window infos says "smooth", but visually the object is not smoothed.

But I've just found the solution :

select your object, go to Tools/Object property editor (F9) and SET the crease angle back to something like 45 ...
