β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
surfacePointMerge [OPTIONS] input distance output
three little positional args, one big glow-up for your surface. slay.
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Merge points on surface if they are within absolute distance [m].
that's it. that's the whole job. if two points on your surface are closer together than the distance you gave her, they become one. no cap. π¦
π ARGUMENTS π
inputβ The input surface file. the surface you're handing over, your little project, your baby. π«Άdistanceβ The merge distance. this is in [m] β absolute, not relative, don't play with her. anything inside this radius gets smooshed together.outputβ The output surface file. where the freshly merged, glowing, main-character surface gets written. π
π OPTIONS π
