Description

Removes unnecessary edges and vertices, merges seam edges, and replaces the geometry of faces and edges by analytic surfaces and curves, if possible within the user-specified tolerance.

Note: It is recommended to always run this command on imported 3D solid geometry.

Method

The DMSimplify command context panel is automatically displayed when running the command.

Settings
Defines what this command will take into consideration.
Topology
If checked, simplifies the topology of the 3D solid entities.
Geometry
If checked, simplifies the geometry of the 3D solid entities.
Use auto tolerance
If checked, the algorithm determines the optimal tolerance based on the solid's geometry.
Note: This is the default option, highly recommended.
Use custom
If checked, it allows you to set a tolerance value.
Preview changes
If checked, displays the Results panel.
Note: By default, this option is not checked.

You can choose which detected entities to be simplified. You can select them one by one or all together.

Simplify
When the Preview changes button is active, it opens the Results panel, otherwise it finishes the command.
Note: After the command ends, a balloon notification with information about the result appears on the bottom right side of the drawing. Pressing the More details button opens the Report panel for the command.
