Mesh From Point Cloud dialog box

Mesh Name
Mesh Name	Lets you specify a name for the mesh.
Select Points/Nodes
Select Points/Nodes Stacked Smart Selection Method	Lets you select the points or nodes to use to create the mesh.Click Stacked Smart Selection Method to use one or more selection recipe strategies to select entities. For more information, see Selection recipes.
Mesh Create Options
Maximum Element Length	Lets you specify the maximum element edge length for the mesh. The software tries not to generate an element with an edge longer than this value.
Feature Angle	Lets you specify the maximum angle allowed between two connected 2D elements.
Mesh Output 1D Wireframe	Controls the type of meshes that the command creates.Select the 1D Wireframe check box to use the 2D mesh to create a mesh of 1D beam elements.Clear the 1D Wireframe check box if you want to create a 2D mesh only.
Shell Element Type
Element Properties****Type	Lets you specify the type of 2D element to create.
Edit Mesh Associated Data	Available when you select an element type that requires the definition of additional properties.Opens the Mesh Associated Data dialog box where you can define solver-specific properties for the elements. The software applies these properties uniformly to all the elements in the mesh.
1D Element Type
Element Properties****Type	Lets you specify the type of 1D element to create.
Edit Mesh Associated Data	Available when you select an element type that requires the definition of additional properties.Opens the Mesh Associated Data dialog box where you can define solver-specific properties for the elements. The software applies these properties uniformly to all the elements in the mesh.
Destination Collector
Automatic Creation	Select the Automatic Creation check box to have the software automatically create a new destination collector for the current mesh. If you select this option, the software creates a collector using the default physical properties and inherits the material properties of the idealized part.Clear the Automatic Creation check box to choose an existing mesh collector from the Mesh Collector list.
Mesh Collector	Lets you select an existing collector. Click New Collector to use the Mesh Collector dialog box to create additional mesh collectors. For more information, see Mesh collectors.
