Are you confident that this behaviour always desired? It's at least thinkable that some don't want adjacent patches to be welded by the model exporter, since this is affecting smoothing. |

No, it should only be an optional setting. Personally I often choose to remove all doubles, since I don't consider the visual difference to be that great and would rather have a less complex model to load and render. For some models it's of course quite important that they're smoothed in a certain way. A possible consideration is to make this reversible, so if a mapper doesn't like the all-smooth look he can re-export with this setting disabled and enough verts come back to achieve "default" smoothing (90°). The most powerful option would probably be to offer a "smoothing angle" setting that would add or remove verts as needed to achieve the specified degree of smoothing, but I have my doubts that many DR users would get much practical use out of that degree of control. |

Reattaching the example model with 28k verts instead of 43k verts, since there's no reason to bring 5115 (resolved) into this ticket. |
