CreateCollapseModifier

This command creates a CollapseModifier to remove edges. A CollapseModifier removes edges by collapsing the edge to a point somewhere along the edge. This modifier can collapse faces and edges. A separate modifier handles vertex collapse because the algorithm is very different.

  1. Select a face or edge.
