The model clearly has hard edges, but it still looks smooth. What's the matter?

This model is imported through FBX.

The automatic smoothing setting of 0 is useless. It shows that the hard edges are really green and hard edges, and it is useless to press "hard" again.(as shown in Figure 2)

It is not a problem with smoothing groups. It is still the case when all smoothing groups are set to 1.

After UVW expansion, it is not a UVW problem.

 

This problem can be solved after Tessellate, as shown in Figure 3, but the problem is that I want to know why this happens and how to judge such smooth and wrong objects in a large scene through script (of course, I will study the script first)

Try to reset normals - Edit Normals modifier, select all and click reset. Imported model from other applications can sometimes have broken or locked normals.

Thank you. It's really a normal problem. Click to flip the normal.
