Simplifies meshes by reducing the total polygon count. For example you can use it for reducing the number of the polygons in the laser scanned model (e.g. from 400000 to 4000 triangles).

TC Surface Simplification enables when a 3D Boolean operation has been performed on two or more SMeshs.

Local Menu Options Ignore Boundaries, Contract Boundaries at end, Fix Boundaries: this switch tells the simplifier how should it process the models boundaries (boundary = set of the edges where each edge belongs to the one triangle only) Do Full Update before simplification: you should use this setting if the simplifier fails or its result is incorrect. Usually it means that the simplifier's input model was incorrect. You may try to heal the model by using "Do Full Update" in this case.
