Simplify

Reduce the number of triangles in a mesh.

1. On the ribbon, click the PolyNURBS tab.
2. Click the Simplify tool.
3. Select a polymesh. Hold Ctrl or use box selection to select multiple objects.
   
   
4. Choose from the following options:
   • Weld Vertices: Automatically weld coincident vertices to clean up the mesh before performing the Simplify operation.
   • Smooth: Enter a value from 0 to 180 degrees.
   • The following reduction methods are available:
     • Reduce by %: A lower value corresponds to a greater reduction.
     • Reduce Faces: Define the final number of faces, which must be fewer than the number of input faces.
     • Reduce Vertices: Define the final number of edges, which must be fewer than number of input edges.
5. Click the Simplify button.
6. Right-click and mouse through the check mark to exit, or double-right-click.
