Go to Edit>Shape Magic>Advanced>Smooth & Simplify.
The following window opens with settings which can be adjusted as desired. Adjustments will be reflected in
the preview so that distortions of the image can be avoided:
The Ignore Length option can be used to control the amount of smoothing applied to an image. For
example, in the following image of a very angular apple, the higher the setting for Ignore Length, while
holding Smooth Nodes at a constant value, the more rounding of the shape:
In general, the Smooth and Simplify function is not used because of the two easier functions (Auto
Simplify Welds and Auto Simplify Path) which were both added to MTC after this function was introduced.
If Simplify Nodes doesn’t reduce the nodes significantly, then try reducing the size of the image, as
described at the end of the Auto Simplify Path section.
