### Remarks

How sharp the edge has to be to be turned into a hard edge when calculating normals. This setting is only used when [ModelImporter.importNormals](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityeditor/modelimporter/importnormals.md) is set to [ModelImporterNormals.Calculate](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityeditor/modelimporternormals/calculate.md).
