At this point, where the face is selected with “blue”… all of the lines shown blue, that should allow the user to change the segment on both sides. It is almost impossible to do this on a ‘finished’, unprepared model…Ībout my previous post, what I meant is there a plugin that allows anyone that can select a face that has the arc. It is easy to switch them once they are made… SU is a quick modeller, it is easy to make 3 versions of the same item if you make them in parallel… There have been a few plugins like ‘Polyreducer’ over the years, but they simply can’t cover all possible modelling styles… MeshLabs have some of the best algorithm’s available to do this, but even it requires a substantial amount of user input to come close to what you want…Īnd you need to load your item on it’s own and define what to keep to get any level of accuracy… They no longer exist, and code can’t put them back so needs to make new ones… If the ‘curve’ really is made as a curve, circle or arc, then the code could possibly target that…īut what happens to any attached faces when it replaces edges with a different set? If it was modelled at origin with the correct axis orientation, then the bounding box may help with 1 and 2… the height at the start and end of each curve.In your simple example, I could guess you want to keep:

The main reason is it complicated and users can lose their work…

Most 3D software will not allow ‘destructive’ changes from code without user input… It would take a lot of time to build 3 different model with 3 level of details.
