Cant move or edit object on smooth mesh, and can't go back to hard edge?

[Anonymous]

I was switching from hard edge to smooth and notice the subdivision was off so I went to Modify -> Convert -> NURBs to subdiv and it helped. But then I encountered the problem when I tried to select vertices on the smooth mesh that it would not select it and automatically go back to hard edge. After a couple of times of trying I right clicked and clicked display finer. This is when I started encountering the problem where I could not get it back to hard edge. I press 1 and 3 and it just smooths out the already smooth mesh.

Hi!

Please don't confuse Smooth Mesh Preview with

Maya Subdivision Surfaces which has been replaced by Smooth Mesh Preview.

I am stating the order that I did things. No confusion. If your not going to help with the question, don't reply with just a comment.

Hi!

You created a Maya Subdivision Surface which is not supported anymore.

Again, use Smooth Mesh Preview instead.

Please read more about this in the Maya online help.
