  2. 2 Select tri mode from the top menu bar.
  3. 3 Click the groups view mode button.
  4. 4 On the 3D model, select triangles whose smoothing group you want to change. For example, use Ctrl + LMB to select one triangle at a time.
  5. 5 In the top right corner, you will see a set of smoothing group buttons. Click one of the numbers to assign the selected triangles to that group.
  6. 6 When prompted with a confirmation dialog, click yes.
