Reset Normals In Smooth Modifier

[teratron]

A reset all normals option, in the Smooth modifier so we don't have to add an edit normals modifier, select all the normals, and hit reset.

Or add this option on\off

it´s already there (Modifier in Max2022): Weighted Normals.

@K.W.J.P.  Thanks for the reply, but if you add the Weighted normals mod below the smooth you will see that the normals are still locked and you can't re-smooth the model. Also having it built into the smooth modifier would mean one less mod to add/manage.

Just saw this was in the 2022.1 update, wooooo!

"SMOOTH MODIFIER TO CLEAR EXPLICIT NORMALS

As a part of explicit normal handling improvement, Smooth modifier now clears explicit normal interface completely for Poly object. You can see the technical details at the above my tutorial link."
