Smooth triangles
The smoothing factor determines the maximum distance that an individual point can be moved.
In turn, this also determines how much the measurement or the volume of the model can be
modified.
Smoothing passes
The smoothing passes determine how often the smoothing function is applied to the surface of
the model. A larger number of passes results in smoother transitions between points and edges.
Subdivisions per triangle
The parameter subdivisions per triangle divides of the triangles of the model prior to the
application of the smoothing function. Subdivision simply divides each triangle into three smaller
triangles, so the number of triangles is tripled with each subdivision pass.
Angle deviation
Particularly with regard to CAD data, sharp edges shall be sustained in the majority of cases.
The two parameters Minimum angle deviation and Maximum angle deviation allow therefore
control of the smoothing in dependence of the angle. If the angle control is enabled, a triangle
point is only displaced when all adjacent triangles are within the defined angle range.
