I need some help regarding mesh smoothing in gmax/3DSmax. There is a cone that will become a command module someday and I wanted to drill some RCS holes in the mesh. ProCutter and ProBoolean do a great job, but when i apply mesh smoothing afterwards i get weird creases/ridges on what should be a smooth surface. 3DS max help states that when this happens number of faces should be increased. Unfortunately, many faces dissapear after the first cut has been made (pic 2). If no mesh smoothing is applied, there are no ridges but the cylinder is blocky. Here are some pics.
Geometry before cutting:
Geometry after the first cut has been made:
After cutting (notice ugly creases):
In Orbiter (notice ugly creases):
Any advice?
