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
