Simplify Polygon Command – This will dramatically improve productivity when dealing with imported polygons (especially site contours) by dramatically reducing the number of vertices on a polygon, while maintaining the polygon shape.

When you are working with site models and polylines, you can often get into the situation with the polylines have too many vertices. Often, you will find that the extra vertices on your polylines do not add to the site model, but they add dramatically to the calculation time of the site model. The way around this is to simplify the polygons or polylines.

  1. Very nice to know. Is this new? I have needed this in the past when importing stuff from others.

  2. Having this amount of control with poly smoothing is new. Huge difference in vertices, really worth it.
