Harden edge on smooth mesh in Maya

DigitalMechanik

Hi, is their a way to get a hard edge after smoothing a model (smooth mesh preview)? The "preserve hard eges" checkbox seems to do nothing. And I don't mean closer edge loops but a real hard edge. 
Thanks in advance.

It's the Crease tool:

Thanks for the reply, the edges I get with creasing are not hard, the normals are still averaged.

You have to go to the Attribute Editor, Go to the Shape Node of your Mesh and open the Smooth Mesh Tab. If you use Maya Catmull-Clark as Subdiv Method, there is a Option to preserve Hard edges. Maybe that helps.
