Mesh Segmentation

This command splits meshes according to their geometrical shape.

Requirements

Select one or several meshes and launch the command. Each mesh will be processed independently.


  1. Set the Segmentation parameters:

    1. Segmentation angle: this angle is used to split the mesh into patches. It corresponds to a maximal angle between adjacent faces.

    2. Area threshold: this threshold discards patches that are too small .

    3. Standard deviation threshold: this threshold is used to identify the appropriate geometric feature (plane, cylinder, sphere or cone) for each patch.

  2. Choose the features to identify when segmenting the mesh.

  3. Optionally, create the corresponding geometrical features in addition to the segmented mesh.


Technical information

If patches share the same geometrical properties and are close enough, they are merged.
