Option Overview Detail Recommended Value Topology The shape of the polygons to be converted
Tris (only triangular polygons)
Quads (quadrangular and triangular polygons)
Ngons (polygons with multiple sides, quadrangular, triangular polygons)Density This is the only value that automatically sets other values, so it's easy to achieve good results with this value alone.
Lower the value: fewer polygons, rough shape conversion.
Increase the value: more polygons, detailed shape conversion.Min width Minimum Size Specify the minimum size of the polygons.
To avoid congestion of small polygons, such as minute fillets, increase this value.Max width Maximum Size Specify the maximum size of the polygons.
To avoid extremely long or large polygons, decrease this value.
To make the size of the polygons more uniform, decrease this value.Surface plane tolerance Maximum Allowable Deviation
(in cm)Specify the accuracy of the conversion.
Lower the value: more polygons, detailed shape conversion.
Increase the value: fewer polygons, rough shape conversion.
Although less intuitive than Max width, this is one of the most common ways to increase or decrease the number of polygons.A suitable value for low poly is 0.01, and for high poly is 0.0001.
If you want to use a value smaller than 0.001, it may be better to decrease the Max width.Surface angle tolerance Maximum Allowable Angular Deviation
(in radians)Specify the accuracy of the surface conversion.
Lower the value: the Curved surface is converted faithfully, and the number of polygons increases.
Increase the value: the Curved surface is converted roughly, and the number of polygons decreases.
This can be thought of as the minimum number of segments, or elements, per circle or cylinder.A suitable value is 0.35 (for low poly) to 0.15 (for high poly). Curve plane tolerance Maximum Allowable Deviation of Edge
(in cm)Specify the accuracy of the conversion of the Edges and Face boundaries.
This is similar to Surface plane tolerance, but affects the conversion of Edges and Face boundaries more than the center of the Face.Curve angle tolerance Maximum Allowable Angular Deviation of Edge
(in radians)Specify the accuracy of the conversion of the Edges of curved surfaces (boundaries of the Face).
This is similar to Surface angle tolerance, but affects the conversion of Edges (boundaries of the Face) more than the center of the Face.A suitable value is 0.35 (for low poly) to 0.15 (for high poly). Curve max length Maximum Allowable Length of Curve (Edge) Segment Plane angle Maximum Allowable Ratio between Plane Tolerance and Max Width Useful for obtaining more quadrangles or polygons.
