Mesh Operations

Merge nodes

Merge the selected nodes into a single node.

• Advantage: shorter project saving and loading times.
• Disadvantage: sub-part names are lost (single mesh structure).

Optimize model

Automatically decreases the mesh count and groups related sub-parts.

Mesh separation

• Loose Parts: separate objects one by one as loose parts.
• Sub-meshes: separate parts by material.

If the CAD model consists of one mesh it cannot be edited. After the mesh separation, sub-parts can be selected one by one.

Mesh bisect

Divide the geometry in any desired way. The operation splits the geometry into separate parts; afterwards the resulting parts can be selected, hidden or deleted as needed, and tracking edges can be created on the new geometry.

Mirror

Mirror the CAD data. If a part exists for one side only and the other side is needed, use the mirror function — for example, a left fixture set mirrored into a right fixture set.
