Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
roundness (ro)	float	0
When 1, push vectors are renormalized to keep length constant
boundaryRule (bnr)	enum	1
Controls how boundary edges and vertices are creased. By default, creases are automatically applied to all boundary edges and all vertices that have only 2 incident edges prior to converted to a smooth mesh. Users can control this behavior by modifying this enum. The options are 0 - use the original legacy algorithm which did not automatically crease boundary edges and vertices. 1 - default setting, apply creasing 2 - apply creasing to edges only
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.
degree (deg)	integer	3
Degree of the resulting limit surface
divisions (dv)	short	1
The number of recursive quad subdivisions to perform on each face.
divisionsPerEdge (dpe)	integer	1
Number of subdivisions along one edge for each step.
keepBorder (kb)	bool	true
If true: border edges will not be smoothed.
keepHardEdge (khe)	bool	false
If true: hard edges will not be smoothed.
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
keepSelectionBorder (ksb)	bool	true
If true: edges at selection borders will not 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.
maya2008Above (m08)	bool	false
Internal attribute to handle file compatibilty
maya65Above (ma)	bool	false
Internal attribute to handle file compatibilty
method (mth)	enum	0
Type of smoothing algorithm to use 0 - exponential - traditional smoothing 1 - linear - number of faces per edge grows linearly
subdivisionLevels (sl)	integer	1
Number of times the subdivide and smooth operation is run.
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.
pushStrength (ps)	float	0.0
0 is approximation, 1 is interpolation scheme
smoothUVs (suv)	bool	false
If true: UVs as well as geometry will be smoothed
