Collapse mesh faces and vertices

These commands assist in repairing mesh objects to make them watertight.

Notes

●

Some STL/SLA printers have problems if meshes contain many long, thin facets. These can slow the printer's slicing process down, produce odd printed results, and run the printer out of memory.

●

The MeshRepair command may be useful when tuning up meshes for STL/SLA printing.
