About this Block

What it does: The Collapse Vertices block simplifies a surface mesh, lattice, or graph by joining and consolidating vertices with a certain distance to each other. When vertices are at a distance lower than the threshold input, a new vertex is placed at the average location of the vertices and joined back into the structure. Common uses:
  • Used to lower the element count
  • Clean up a structure after merging multiple together
Tips
  • Drag and drop the vertices from the property panel to visualize them better.
