      Cool, clever, good 👍

      I don't really know, what this cleanup is good for

      It sure helps a better terrain display whith smooth/soft faces (long and narrow triangles never display well).

      My question is: don't we loose some information during the process ? I guess the new terrain is not exactly the same as the original (the greater the vertical faces spacing, the more you loose terrain details and distort it) ?

      This may be a plugin idea: drop a virtual flat TIN over the current terrain, compute intersections and automatically get the "clean" regularly triangulated terrain.
      What do you think ?

        that would be an awesome tool, because it really saves a lot of time and can help you to clean up your model considerably.

        I would definitely love such a script!!! 😍

                  Ha! Yes, 14th of July!

                  When I was in Paris and used the Metro and got off (up) at the Bastilles, I was looking around to see it when finally I realised that "ah these dudes destroyed it on occasion of one of their regular revolutions" (well, the first in the row) 😄

                  Amazingly, I was a last year history student at that time. Such is life!

                  BTW - English is quite keen on separating its Germanic and Romance layers of origin so I bet "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" would read as "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" - but then again; who am I to judge it? 😉

                  And the plugin seems to be a beauty again! 👍

                  Gai...

                      Hi,

                      Algorithm is OK and plugin is half done. It needs a lot of tests and adjustments.
                      National day today, so I'll get some rest...
