Tool description

Vertex cleanup

This tool automatically finds and removes duplicate vertices but also removes mesh smoothness. Apply "Generate Smooth Normal" tool to soften the edges

Face cleanup

Removes zero area, degenerate, and duplicate faces.

Fix Inside-out Faces

Auto fixes inside-out faces. It is recommended to remove non-manifold faces first for this tool to work properly.

Remove Non-manifold

Detects non-manifold edges and tries to fix them.

Instantiate Duplicates

Auto-detects and instantiates identical meshes. Any changes to one of them updates the rest. Verifies that the transformation of the instanced mesh and the original mesh fall within a defined threshold.

Reset Transformations

Resets location, rotation, and scale of all meshes in the scene to 0,0,0.

Remove Zero Volume Mesh

Deletes zero volume meshes that are not renderable. Note that this tool will delete flat surfaces like thin walls.

Remove Small Parts

Deletes very small meshes in the scene such as bolts and screws. The threshold for detecting small parts is defined relative to the bounding box of the entire model.

Group Small Parts

Automatically finds small parts in the model and groups them in the outliner.

Merge Details

Auto combines very small meshes to a single mesh. It is the easiest way to reduce CPU overload.

Decimate High Quality Objects

Detects meshes that have a high poly count compared to the rest of the model and simplifies them.

Remove Empty Nodes

Auto detects and deletes groups with no renderable geometry.

Outliner Roll-up

Auto simplifies the outliner by rolling up nested groups for easier editing.

Separate Mesh Pieces

Breaks a single node with more than one mesh into multiple nodes.

Generate Sharp Normals

Generates a sharper look for edges of the mesh.

Fix Duplicate Names

Finds duplicate names in the outliner and appends a number to the end to avoid data loss after conversion.

Invert Mesh Faces

Inverts all faces in the scene.

Remove Detached Vertices

This tool automatically finds and removes vertices that are not attached to any face or edge.

Generate Smooth Normal

Generate smooth normals to prepare objects for rendering.

Scene Cleanup

This tool repairs issues such as scene root, axis, unit conversion, etc.

Combine all

Merges all meshes in the scene into a single object.

Remove Internal Faces

This tool deletes internal faces of all meshes. It is recommended to run this tool after combine tools.

Generate UVs

Generates UV maps for baking lightmaps or texture painting. This tool applies auto-layout and auto-padding.

Extract Small Parts

Detects small meshes in the model and moves them into a separate file while maintaining their location.

Combine Level 1 Groups

Merge parts inside each level 1 group based on material.

Combine CAD components

Combines CAD components such as detailed parts making up a chair or foliage into a single object, i.e. a chair or tree.

Outliner Name Fix

Finds blank space and non-standard characters in the outliner and replaces them with underscore.

Merge Nearby Vertices

Finds all vertices within a threshold distance and merges them together.
