Lets you smooth out regions of a mesh.

Smooth a mesh

Preserve Features

When this option is checked (default), the tool attempts to smooth the mesh while preserving the local features within the selected region. If the box is unchecked, the smoothing effect tends toward an overall “flattening” of the region.

Radius

Defines a radius value around each vertex. All vertices located within that radius and connected to the center vertex will affect the movement of the center vertex.

We recommend that you use a small radius for better results. You can use Edit > Undo and change the radius later, if the results are not satisfactory.

Fix Boundaries

If this option is checked, the edges of the mesh remain fixed while the mesh is smoothed.

This option is turned on by default.

Number of Iterations

This slider has a range of 1 to 10 and specifies how many smoothing iterations occur every time you press the Smooth button. The default is 4.

Vertex Movement

Greatest

Non-editable field displaying the maximum vertex deviation.

Restrict

If this option is checked, the smoothing process stops when the maximum vertex deviation between the original mesh and the smoothed mesh reaches the value of Maximum Permitted.

Maximum Permitted

Maximum vertex deviation allowed between the original and smoothed mesh.

This option only appears when Restrict is turned on.
