Menu: Adjust mesh Icon: No short cut
Reduces the number of triangles in the model
This function analyses the triangle mesh and removes redundant triangles (e.g. on curved
surfaces with a resolution that is too high). Only those triangles are removed that are within the
defined tolerance.
Dialog Reduce triangles
Tolerances
The following specifications define whether a triangle is removed.
Reduction accuracy: Maximum deviation of the resulting surface from the original surface.
Maximum angle deviation: Maximum angle between two neighboring triangle edges.
Number of calculation passes: Defines how often the optimisation is carried out.
Reference: Filter triangles
