Is there a way during using smooth brush also enable the edge smooth?
Because border edges in the moment are not affected during smoothing..
thanks in advance

I don't know which tool you are talking about. Can you show it in a picture.

Here screenshot.
Subobject Tools >> Brush_Relax
Now i have tested it also on sphere to the right, there the smooth brush works on the edges, but not on the "vest" to the left . Thats strange. It feels like vertexes inside the mesh are smoothing, the vertexes on the open edges stay like they where freezed.

You may have hidden the border vertices in vertex mode.

yes here, I saved vws and obj file.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cvcdhh3f0nqh1bx/AADhL92H4xO_rN0ARc_2EWTEa?dl=0

I noticed this smoothing issue stored somewhere in vws file. Because if i export the scene as obj and import the "vest" back smoothing on the edges working again.

Sorry, dont know why it does not extract. Was working fine for me. It was win rar file. Now the files are in folder directly.

The border edges are subdivision creased. That's why. It is a requested behavior.

Try this. The last version I gave you has a bad bug.

Im still playing with brushes to get familiar with this nice tools.
I have a question , could it maybe possible to make the adjustment of the size little simpler.
I try to explain.
In the moment i have to assign a key to for example Brush_Move## then holding it , at the same time holding Caps-Lock/Space to assign size and falloff curve as far i understood.

Could it be made little simpler like this:
you press button (example "m") for BrushMove# it switches to this mode, you can move vertexes ( you see the brush gizmo)
If you hold down the same button (example "m") you can adjust the size
If you release the button you are still in the brush mode and can move vertexes again
You left the brush mode, if you press another hotkey or Escape.

If its not possible, maybe to give the possibility to change the "Caps-Lock/Space" button for adjusting brush, to the button i can set by my own( for example on x,y,z). Because in the moment i have pretty everything full in the left corner of the keyboard with hotkeys and its hard to press "Caps-Lock/Space" and another far away button the same time + hold pen to adjust size.
ps: And Space hotkey is set for "delete" in my settings.So i cant use it too.

By the way the "shift" for relax is nice and useful.

Thanks in advance

They are changeable. They are the hotkeys for "Redirect Modifier" and "StreamLine Tool Option Cycler". But I wouldn't recommend to change them because lots tools use these hotkeys and "Caps-Lock/Space" appear in their tool tips which may confuse you in the future because tooltips are hard coded.
Why you have to hold more than one key? Once the basic streamline tool is activated and the mouse button is derpressed, you no longer need to keep holding the streamline tool's hotkey any more.
