Hi good people

I have a comlex/curved tin with thousands of faces and i would like to reduce the number of triangles/faces as there is way too many that are not needed for the shape involved.

is this easily possible, is the a tool to do this or must i do it manually?

Thanks a loit for your help

works! thanks guys

scaled it up 5 times...used the erasure to get rid of the lines
ran intersect
added a new line to match the geom of the other side of the hole..moved the face to match the other side
erased the line..

schweet!

thanks for the help guys..much appreciated!

Edit:

just wanted to giveu guys some feedback on this after u gave me the fix...seems modelling is much more enjoyable now!
thanks again for the help!

hi everyone

i am trying to make a gun handle and saw a lot of threads on this which have been very helpful so thanks

in the end tho i opted to use Fredo's awesome spline tool and made the handle
the problem comes after I have the finished surface there are tiny lines and gaps in the surface

if i delete the lines i get holes in the surface
and theres a hole on one part that i can't drag/move to join it up again..

any ideas on how to fix this would be really appreciated
thanks
