Hello everyone!  
I would like to know how to modify the “smoothing factor” (available in the dropdown menu of the “Show3D” button) for a segment of my segmentation node using a Python script, through logic and NOT the widget representation (if needed).  
I need this to get a model from segment with perfect smoothing

Thanks for help !
