Maya - Hard edge 90 degree script?

jordan.kocon

I was wondering if anyone knows of a script/plugin that will automatically harden all edges that are 90 degrees or less.

Thanks in advance

It's built in to Maya. Shift+right Click > Soften/Harden options, set an angle tolerance.

Well that would've just saved me my afternoon! Thank you very much

Set normal angle will do the same thing. Normals -> Set Normal Angle.

Cool, thanks Daelus!

This may be equally as useful, set hard edges by uv border:

This is what I use, as you dont want hard edges where you do not have uv borders etc.
