The Delete command allows you delete a control point row or column to decrease the density of a control point net. Columns of points may be deleted from the Plan and Profile windows, while rows of points may be deleted from the Body Plan window.

To delete a control point row or column

§   Select the Plan, Profile or Body Plan window as appropriate.

Control point rows may be deleted in the Body Plan; control point columns may be deleted in the Plan or Profile windows.

§   Select Delete from the Controls menu.

Position the jaws of the Delete cursor around the control point.

§   Click the mouse button.

Maxsurf will delete the control point row or column and calculate the new shape of the Current Surface.

Deleting a row or column that contains one or more control points in a bonded edge will impact the bonded surface. If a row or column, which is part of a bonded edge, is chosen for deletion, you will be alerted to this fact by a dialog, through which you may then choose between cancelling, and deleting the row or column from both surfaces.
