      Hi,

      @unknownuser said:

      thats probably the same mentioned issue you want to fix in the next release

      Exactly: faces outside borders and in "former holes" will be removed automatically.

      @unknownuser said:

      does it make sense to automate this process

      That's very easy to do by script but IMHO this will have to be an option of the dialog box, I don't intend the user to have a smoothed/soften terrain if he doesn't want to.

      this could be the start of a panelizing plugin

      Call me stupid but I don't know what a 'panelize' operation is ?

                    Didier, you're the MAN! thumps chest twice with thumb side of fist

                    The smoothing can be done with Matt666's smoothing plugin, should work like a charm...

                            hi Didier,

                            I just wanted to clean up a terrain. I used the options

                            -create group: yes
                            -delete original: yes
                            -merge faces: no
                            -size 600mm

                            when it was finished it looked like this

                            http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/8200/meshmessij3.jpg

                            the original terrain had not been deleted. but the new terrain was incomplete where the old mesh was visible (see image above). no idea, why it didnt work. just thought I would tell, in case you have a clue. 😉

                                  Can you show us or share the starting idea, I would like to see before you apply model with contours.(perhaps I've got an idea using your technic to model terrain).

                                  After a few tests using different methods, I let you guess
                                  who's who.

                                    good morning REGIS,

                                    the initial idea was discussed in this thread.

                                    for the who is who test - could you give us some multiple choice answers? 😉

                                        Didier, don't know if it's possible to do, but it would be helpful (me thinks) if the the script somehow retained the information collected at the "Parsing terrain.." stage, in case one wants to reshape the terrain again with, say, differently sized triangles.

                                          Hey,

                                          I've imported 6-7 GE terrain meshes, exploded them, put them all in a group, and then tried to run didier's plugin. 😐 It didn't come out as expected.
                                          The problem is, i think, that i didn't really merge the different meshes before runnig the script, and that all 6 or 7 of them reacted as independent meshes.
                                          Does anybody have a quick and easy solution for stitching together different meshes imported from GE?

                                          Thank you,

                                          Félix

                                            Hi Felix, I think that the problem is just that you need to select all the terrains you want to reshape and turn them into a single group. Then just select the 1 group and run the plugin. It will not accept a selection of loose geometry. Only a single group.

                                            Hope that helps,

                                            Chris
