The Smooth Superselection tool is used to reduce the complexity of a polygon, reducing the number of points used for the polygon while still approximating its original shape.
1. In the Model window, select the surface to smooth, or superselect it in the Display window.
The selected surface is now the active reference model feature.
2. Select the Smooth Superselection command.
Menu | Model > Update Features > Smooth Superselection |
The Smooth Superselection dialog box is displayed.
The larger the error tolerance value used the greater number of points that are removed and, in comparison to the original polygon, the less accurate the smoothed polygon will be.
3. Type an Approximation error tolerance value.
4. Click OK.
Points are removed according to the tolerance specified. A message will be displayed in the Output window stating the number of points that were removed.
