Ah, ok. I understand now. I thought the auto smooth was something like Sketchups "soften edges".
I was hoping Wings3D had an option like that, that could be applied without adding polys to the model, and then could be exported. I could have sworn I read it somewhere, that it did have it somehow, but I've been reading so much, I must have misunderstood or confused it with something else! My brains wheels keep spinning! lol
Thanks for the reply Fonte Boa, and I already watched those videos several times!
Thanks for making them!

Auto-smooth command doest subdivide the model. It just create hard edges (the yellow ones) according the angle you specify.
This command apply hard edges globally to a model. You can perform this by selecting some edges and callin Edge|Hardness|Hard.
Create a cube, duplicate it, select one of them, apply auto-smooth and press SHIFT+TAB (quick smooth preview): you will see the difference between them. Note this attribut (hard edges) isnt exported to another softwares, ok?!
