      I'll see how lazy I am between my drinks during the week-end ๐Ÿ˜„

        of course. there is no hurry for that tutorial, I think.

        enjoy your drinking!
        after months of cider and guinnes it will be Sambucca tonight for me (with big glasses, tissues and straw. I love hearing other people coughing while I keep the pleasantly burning vapours in my lungs until lack of oxygen forces me to breathe again ๐Ÿ˜ )

        by the way, my monitor is completely exposed. and in addition to that everyone tries to get a glipse of my screen every now and then, because I am doing all the SketchUp work. ๐Ÿ˜’

          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!!! ๐Ÿ˜

                      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) ๐Ÿ˜„

                      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 "Libertรฉ, ร‰galitรฉ, Fraternitรฉ" would read as "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" - but then again; who am I to judge it? ๐Ÿ˜‰

                      And the plugin seems to be a beauty again! ๐Ÿ‘

                        oh dear, I am really looking forward to your plugin. the image looks very promising. ๐Ÿ˜•

                        enjoy the 14th!

                          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...
