Is there a general solution to override all such specifications, and have the whole object "smoothed" or "faceted"?
Sorry but no, there is no general override in GDL to change between smooth and faceted. You would have to change the mask or status values.
most complex objects that are created in "profiler" are faulty when they are "smooth"
Out of interest, which profiler tool are you using, and in what way are the objects faulty?
