Cull Degenerate Mesh Faces

The CullDegenerateMeshFaces command removes degenerated mesh faces (area=0) and degenerated mesh edges (length=0). Unwelded vertices will be left. If any vertices are orphaned in the process, they are also removed.

A mesh edge is degenerated.
A mesh face is degenerated.
  • 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.
