How do I remove edge sharpness in DS?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I made a model in Blender that, when I transfer it to DS, DS makes some edges sharp - against my wishes.

See the picture: https://www.deviantart.com/luqu/art/Stubborn-Sharp-Edges-982259186

I've done all I could to remidy the problem in Blender with no success.

See the post on BlenderArts: https://blenderartists.org/t/stubborn-sharp-edge-cant-be-un-sharpenned-in-2-79/1482555

So now I seek a way to fix the problem in DS. DS obviously has a way of tagging edges as sharp. I need to get at those tags and change them.

    Not sure if this is helpful or not but I don't like the extremely sharp edges on some bulding walls in DS so I looked for a solution. What I found was a setting in the surfaces tab: Round Corners Radius.

    Using Hexagon I would try 'fillet' the edges or add a 'bevel' ... I don't know how Blender does this. I did find this page for making bevels:

    If the edges are welded you could also try adjusting the smoothing angle in the surface settings, but that might then produce shading artefacts elsewhere.

    For hard surface objects, I usually always bewel the edges.

    Can be done in blender either manually or with a modifier.
