Rebuild Geometry

Rebuild (simplify) a geometry given a factor

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

Use this when you want to simplify a geometry by reducing its vertex count within a flow, for example cleaning up complex imported shapes before further processing.

Rebuild is only for simplifying shapes within a flow. For a one-off simplification, use the Simplify command from the command line or advanced tools.

Inputs:

Feature

(cartesian): The geometry to rebuild.

Factor

(number): Percentage reduction. Defaults to 0.5.

Outputs:

Feature

(cartesian): The rebuilt geometry.

How to:

  1. Feed in a geometry

    This could be from read feature or any geometric/polygon output

  2. Feed in a factor to reduce by.

    Or, type in a number.

  3. The result is the polygon, rebuilt with the reduced count of control points. The control points are reduced by the factor provided.
