Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
method (mth)	enum	0
Type of smoothing algorithm to use 0 - exponential - traditional smoothing 1 - linear - number of faces per edge grows linearly
continuity (c)	float	1
The smoothness parameter. Range is [0,1]. Default value of 1 smooths the faces as much as possible. Value of 0 subdivides faces only.
divisions (dv)	short	1
The number of recursive quad subdivisions to perform on each face.
smoothUVs (suv)	bool	false
If true: UVs as well as geometry will be smoothed
keepBorder (kb)	bool	true
If true: border edges will not be smoothed.
keepSelectionBorder (ksb)	bool	true
If true: edges at selection borders will not be smoothed.
keepHardEdge (khe)	bool	false
If true: hard edges will not be smoothed.
propagateEdgeHardness (peh)	bool	false
If true: edges which are a result of smoothed edges will be given the same value for their edge hardness. New subdivided edges will always be smooth.
keepMapBorders (kmb)	enum	1
Treatment of UV map borders 0 - all map border edges will be smoothed 1 - map borders that are also geometry borders will be smoothed 2 - no map borders will be smoothed
keepTessellation (kt)	bool	true
If true: the object will be smoothed consistently from frame to frame. This is best when the object is being deformed or animated . If false: non-starlike faces will be triangulated before being smoothed. This avoids self-overlapping faces, but could lead to a change in topology (number of vertices/faces) from frame to frame, during an animated deformation.
subdivisionLevels (sl)	integer	1
Number of times the subdivide and smooth operation is run.
divisionsPerEdge (dpe)	integer	1
Number of subdivisions along one edge for each step.
degree (deg)	integer	3
Degree of the resulting limit surface
pushStrength (ps)	float	0.0
0 is approximation, 1 is interpolation scheme
roundness (ro)	float	0
When 1, push vectors are renormalized to keep length constant
maya65Above (ma)	bool	false
Internal attribute to handle file compatibilty
maya2008Above (m08)	bool	false
Internal attribute to handle file compatibilty
