Collapsing edges to a point

Video: Clean up a midsurface in preparation for meshing

Use Collapse Edge to collapse an edge to either one of its end points or to a specified point along the edge.

Collapse Edge lets you manually remove very small edges, such as those shown below, from your model by collapsing them to a point.

You can use Collapse Edge to collapse a selected polygon edge to any point along that edge.

For example, the following graphic shows an example of a very small polygon edge.

We then used Collapse Edge to collapse the edge to its end point, as shown below.

Where do I find it?

Choose Home tab→Polygon Geometry group→Collapse Edge .
