TRIFILTER

Use the Filter option to reduce the size and complexity of triangulations by removing triangles that meet user-specified criteria. For example, you might remove all of the triangles that have an area less than or equal to 1m². It also enables you to remove excess data that causes the formation of small triangles (facets).

Refer to the Overview section for information on the problems caused by small triangles.

Usage:

TriFilter.exe <tri.00t> [option 1] [option 2] ...

<> indicates a mandatory switch.
[ ] indicates an optional switch
