Smoothing Issue

Support Modeling

I have this odd smoothing issue continue to appear on my mesh’s every now and again, ive isolated just the problem here in this file.

http://www.pasteall.org/blend/34140

This should all be one smoothing group, but if you look youll see a smoothing hard edge along one of the faces…
Ive checked the normals, extra verts, faces and edges. But still cant seem to figure out what is causing this…

Any idea?

try to delete only faces and fill every polygon again

in the shading panel of the properties panel, unclick ‘textured solid’

Thanks guys, I didnt realize i had vertex colors on the mesh!

that does not make any sence…
you would achieve the same by deleting doubles and recalculating normals… just that doing so is only 2-4 clicks…

hold on, what was the issue? when i loaded the blend file everything seemed to be just fine :o

There was a visible seam in the mesh. But i found it was caused by vertex colors, not smoothing groups

that didnt come up to me when i opened the blend file for some reason, but i know what you mean.
