Smoothing not working

Hi there new user here using Win10, Blender 2.92 with Octane and following this tutorial where he talks about smoothing https://youtu.be/LyvoLHzNdks?t=887

But unfortunately smoothing doesn't work for me even though it's selected and has edge loops.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks in advance.

even weirder is that when I removed the edge loops in the cylinder the material worked, but then when i made a new cylinder with the same material it didn't work again. Any ideas?

sorry if a dumb question, but did you right click on the cylinder and select "shade smooth"?

Hmm I thought right clicking > Shade Smooth only worked in Cycles not in Octane?

But I tried it and it only works after I save the file and re open it again.

Weird.

Thanks for your help.

As you use Shade Smooth on a mesh you just need to hit Tab twice to enter and exit Edit Mode. That will update the cache.
By the way, we internally fixed a issue with Smoothing angle, and a new build will be available soon.

Thanks linograndiotoy,

that's a much better way of doing it. Could that be added in the manual for the Blender Addon? I'm sure others are running into that same issue.
