Long name (short name) Type Default Flags
angle (a) angle (double) 30.0deg outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Angle threshold used to determine if triangles are merged or not. Range is [0,180]. A value of 0 means only co-planar triangles will be merged.
keepGroupBorder (kgb) bool true outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Keep facet group border. If "on", the borders of input faces are maintained, otherwise the borders of input faces may be modified.
keepTextureBorders (ktb) bool true outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Keep texture border. If "on", the borders of texture maps are maintained, otherwise the borders of texture maps may be modified.
keepHardEdges (khe) bool true outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Keep hard edges. If "on", the hard edges of input faces are maintained, otherwise they may be deleted between two triangles.
maya80 (m80) bool true outputinputstorablehidden
Enable Maya 8.0 behaviour. This attribute is not meant to be modified through command line.
