The Refine Mesh command enables you to increase the number of nodes and triangles in the mesh making the surface smoother. This operation subdivides the mesh triangles producing four triangles for every original triangle.

- A Crease detection value enables you to preserve or not creases on the mesh.
- A Corner detection value enables you to preserve or not corners on the mesh.
