  Key Concepts: 
  Smoothing is a feature of SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) that allows users to create smooth, realistic 3D models from CAD data. It is used to reduce the polygon count of a 3D model, making it easier to render and manipulate. Smoothing also helps to create a more realistic look and feel for the 3D model.
  
  How to use it: 
  Smoothing can be used in SAP Visual Enterprise by selecting the “Smooth” option in the “Tools” menu. This will open a dialog box where users can select the desired level of smoothing for their 3D model. The higher the level of smoothing, the more realistic the 3D model will look.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using smoothing, it is important to keep in mind that higher levels of smoothing will result in longer rendering times. It is also important to note that smoothing can only be applied to CAD data, not to other types of 3D models.
