Dissolve

From left to right: Selected edges; after applying Dissolve; points are deleted according to the Phong Angle setting.

Use this command to delete selected edges. This command works similar to the Melt command, the difference being, that unnecessary points will also be deleted automatically. This command is also ideal for deleting edges created using the Connect Points/Edges command.

If ypu press on the Shift key when call up the command, when Points are deleted, the Phong Angle (Smooth to) is taken into account, i.e., points will not be deleted at hard edges (or where BreakPhong Shading is detected).

When in Point or Polygon mode, Dissolve functions exactly like the Melt command.
