and how can i chamfer an edge

sorry for my stupid questions i know: I am a n00b ops:

[Dennispls]

select the edges you want to be chamfered and find the button chamfer
click on the little icon next to it and fill in 001 for example to get a sharp line

You could also use the crease function if you are using poly modeling, it's not always the best idea and can yield some weird results, but it can also be very useful. Go to the edge sub-object mode and select the edge(s) you want to be sharp. Then scroll down on the command panel until you find the "crease" box and in it type a value of 1.
Hope this helps ^__^

Smoothing groups with meshsmooth, guaranteed to have sharp edges where you need them.

If you do that, a meshsmoothed car will look like a low poly one..

The best way to get nice sharp edges is just to cut them by hand, gives the best result.

yes, that will be the best way, but, i think, this metod is very time consuming, than just chamfer the edges
