1.7.9. Clean up¶
These tools are to help cleanup degenerate geometry and fill in missing areas of a mesh.
1.7.9.1. Decimate Geometry¶
Reference
The Decimate Geometry tool allows you to reduce the vertex/face count of a mesh with minimal shape changes.
- Ratio
Ratio of triangles to reduce to.
- Vertex Group
Use the active vertex group as an influence.
- Weight
Strength of the vertex group.
- Invert
Inverts the vertex group.
- Symmetry
Maintain symmetry on either the X, Y, or Z axis.

This tool works similar to the Decimate Modifier.
1.7.9.2. Fill Holes¶
Reference
This tool is can take a large selection and detect the holes in the mesh, filling them in.
This is different from the face creation operator in three important respects:
Holes are detected, so there is no need to manually find and select the edges around the holes.
Holes can have a limit for the number of sides (so only quads or tris are filled in for example).
Mesh data is copied from surrounding geometry (UVs, vertex-colors, multi-res, all layers), since manually creating this data is very time consuming.
1.7.9.3. Make Planar Faces¶
Reference
1.7.9.4. Split Non-Planar Faces¶
Reference
This tool avoids ambiguous areas of geometry by splitting non-flat faces when they are bent beyond a given limit.
1.7.9.6. Delete Loose Geometry¶
Reference
This tool removes disconnected vertices and edges (optionally faces).
1.7.9.7. Degenerate Dissolve¶
Reference
This tool collapses / removes geometry which you typically will not want.
Edges with no length.
Faces with no areas (faces on a point or thin faces).
Face corners with no area.
