Shade Smooth & Flat

The appearance of the mesh edges are determined to be evened out or well defined within the 3D Viewport and render. In Edit Mode, individual faces can be selected to determine which faces are smoothed or flattened.

Nota

Both Shade Smooth and Flat are also available in Object Mode and function the same way.
