Subdivide has no smooth effect on the hard edge?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi guys, I started to learn ZB3 recently, I draw a hammer from the ploycube model (tool) with the subD level 1, I save the file with Svengali’s autosave Zplugin.

When I finally complete the drawing (using the Edge Loop & Move Brush, for practicing), I decide to
rise the Subdivision level, so I push the Divide button in tools/geometry, strangely the frame line is doubled (with the Framd button on I can see it), but the shape of the hammer remain the same (no smooth effect), and the SubD level remain on 1, not rising to 2.

I am sure the smt button is on.

Can anybody tell me why? Is it caused by Svengali’s autosave Zplugin or something else?

you probably have a mask on, which is locally subdividing

If you post up some images it will be easier to determine what is going on.

thank you, I just sent my file to my friend who also use ZB3, and in his computer it divide fine. I don’t know why, I just re-draw the hammer again, and it works fine now…
