Hi J Queen141,

for this you can use Simplification tool.

It can be found in the RECONSTRUCTION tab in the application ribbon. You can hide/close it either by clicking the Simplify Tool in the RECONSTRUCTION tab in the application ribbon or by clicking the respective x button in the 1Ds panel view.

This tool enables you to reduce the number of model triangles so that it connects surfaces which are approximately flat, for example a wall consisting of 1,000 triangles will be replaced by an equivalent wall of 2 triangles.

  • Use this tool to reduce the number of triangles in your model in order to make the model smaller in size.
  • Please note that this tool does not modify the already existing model(s) but it creates a new reduced model which loses its texture and keeps only the coloring. You can switch between models using the 1D scene view.
  • After clicking on the Simplify Tool its menu comes up in the 1Ds window.
