This command will smooth the sharp edges of the mesh within a limb by adjusting the normals data.

SET LIMB SMOOTHING Object Number, Limb Number, Percentage

Object Number

Integer
The object number

Limb Number

Integer
The limb number

Percentage

Float
A percentage value of zero will perform no smoothing and create a facet surface for the limb. A percentage value of 100 will perform full smoothing

This command does not return a value.

A percentage value of zero will perform no smoothing and create a facet surface for the limb. A percentage value of 100 will perform full smoothing, averaging all normals that share a vertex position and create a smoothing effect elimiating all edges. A value between these two limits will determine the degree beyond which an edge will be smoothed or left sharp.
