Summary
You can sharpen, or crease, the edges of mesh objects. Creasing deforms mesh
faces and edges that are adjacent to the selected subobject. Creases added to
mesh that has no smoothness are not apparent until the mesh is smoothed.
You can also apply creases to mesh subobjects by changing the crease type
and crease level in the
Properties Inspector palette on page 830.
