## KEY TOOLS

## Reducing The Number Of Polygons

The Import Assistant lets you select your model’s desired resolution. Depending on your selection, various optimization tools are applied to achieve the requested mesh resolution.

- Accurate decimation tools help achieve your desired reduction in mesh complexity
- The sensitivity decimation algorithm recognizes if the decimation process causes the model to lose too much detail and stops the process
- Meshmatic automatically cleans up all faces after reduction, to ensure there are no broken normals or UV’s

## Correcting Common Issues

Meshmatic’s optimization tools automatically correct mesh issues that typically occur during the CAD to mesh conversion process. These are some of the issues Meshmatic quickly resolves:

- Non-manifold geometry: can cause issues during rendering or 3D printing, and may need to be corrected by adjusting the mesh topology or removing problematic areas
- Intersecting faces: when two or more faces overlap or intersect in a mesh
- Flipped normals: causes the mesh to appear inside-out or shaded incorrectly. Meshmatic automatically finds inside out/inverted faces, and flips them

## Customizable Settings

Meshmatic automatically applies a set of tools depending on your selections, but you can always make adjustments.

- Customizable toolsets to control the simplification process and fine-tune the LODs to meet their specific needs
- Advanced algorithms to ensure that the geometry of the model is preserved during LOD generation, maintaining the accuracy of the details
- Smart algorithms ensure your model maintains accuracy of details
