Collapse mesh faces and vertices

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

Some STL/SLA printers have problems if meshes contain many long, thin facets. These facets can slow the printer down, produce odd results, or run the printer out of memory.
The MeshRepair command may be useful when tuning up meshes for STL/SLA printing.

CollapseMeshEdge

Move mesh edge vertices to a single vertex.

CollapseMeshFace

Move all mesh face vertices to a single vertex.

CollapseMeshFacesByArea

Move all mesh face vertices to a single vertex based on face area.

CollapseMeshFacesByAspectRatio

Move all mesh face vertices to a single vertex based on face aspect ratio.

CollapseMeshFacesByEdgeLength

Move all mesh face vertices to a single vertex based on face edge length.

CollapseMeshVertex

Move a mesh vertex to an adjacent mesh vertex.
