Overview

Dissolve or delete geometry components. Like points for splines, and points, edges or polygons for meshes.
Affected region is controlled with Fields falloff.

Implemented as Modifier only.
Supports Restriction tag.

Object properties

Frame Dependent

Time update geometry update dependency.

Auto

Default option to work with. In most cases geometry rebuilds on frame update.

Local

Enforces to rebuild geometry at each frame update.

Global

Restrict to rebuild geometry only in case of frame update.

Component

Target component

Points

Available for both splines and meshes.

Edges, Polygons

Available for meshes only.

Mode

Target component

Delete

Same as Cinema4D editor's Delete command.
It removes component and all connected components, leaving a hole.

Dissolve

Same as Cinema4D editor's Dissolve command.
It removes component but trying to keep connected components.
Once keeping connected components is impossible — there would be no result, and geometry would be unaffected.

Restriction

Keep Outlines

Enabled — mesh geometry outlines (open edges) would be excluded from the execution.

Keep Creases

Geometry creases takes into account during execution.

None

Creases wouldn't be calculated and might be deleted or dissolved.

Phong

Creases are calculated based on the Phong tag settings and corresponding component would be excluded from the execution.

Angle

Creases are calculated based on the Angle value and corresponding component would be excluded from the execution.

Angle 0..180 °

Defines minimum angle between neighbor polygons to be counted as crease.

Edge Breaks

Enabled — Phong Edge breaks would be excluded from the execution.

Active Selection

Handle geometry's active selection (user or after some modifiers).

None

Does not takes active selections into account.

Point, Edge, Polygon

Takes corresponding active selections into account and convert it into Dissolver component.

Invert Active

Disabled — active selection would be affected by Dissolver execution.

Enabled — active selection would be excluded from Dissolver execution.

Include Selections

List of selection tags to restrict Dissolver execution within.

Exclude Selections

List of selection tags to exclude Dissolver from execution.

Fields

Fields

Fields falloff to control Dissolver's effect region.
