I kind of hope this is not intended but since the last update the smoothtool doesnt work as before (on some areas close to the edges maybe if there is an overhang…?) while working in others leaving a jagged topology. Is there some new setting i need to change? (sharp edges and sticky edges were disabled, quadremesher didnt help, baking didnt help) the only way it works atm is if i mask off the other facegroups and hide the facegroup display 🥲 ![IMG_6276](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/f/0/f0d0a61da41e3ec6a88a3c24d444551223bab1e5.jpeg) ![IMG_6282](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/7/b/7b39e1859cd59d5fe2e52aca4a6525a494ba9cd4.jpeg) ![IMG_6283](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/e/d/ed96133ba2624ddc1bef66778549068899fe60a0.jpeg) ---

I’ll probably change the behaviour, there’s a sharp angle threshold used internally but it doesn’t work very well. ---

Lmao dang thats the only one relax-button i left on „auto“ 🤣 but it worked! thanks! Edit: its not quite like preupdate anymore without relax the edges become jagged with relax the flats act weird but i guess it somewhat works switching around between modes and a higher resolution 🥲 ty for looking into it! ---
