I have a model where I’ve pasted polygons twice. Is there and easy way to get rid of the extras?

Hi ahanford,

Select the object and press u then o key (do not move the mouse or pen). That should clean it up.

This is the Optimize function that you can find here
Main Menu> Mesh> Remove> Optimize (cogwheel: for more options)

If I had the file here, I could advise about the Tolerance settings. If they are too large, you might destroy your object. So save first.

Cheers, stay safe, stay healthy.

Thanks. It gave me exactly what I wanted but I didn’t have to specify a tolerance.

Thanks for the reply, ahanford, you’re very welcome.

Yes, typically, the tolerance should be fine, but I had to mention it.

ENJOY.

Where would I change the tolerance if I needed to?

ahanford,

Main Menu> Mesh> Remove> Optimize (cogwheel: for more options)

If you chose the cogwheel in the menu, you get an interface with more options.

All the best
