    Remove Slivers vs. Max Triangle Length Edge Method

    Product(s): InRoads, MX, GEOPAK
    Version(s): 08.11.09+
    Area:  Terrain Model
    Original Author: Jacquelyn Pettus, Bentley Technical Support Group

     

    Question:

    What is the difference between the "Remove Slivers" edge method and the "Max Triangle Length" edge method in terrain model triangulation?

    Answer:

    Remove Slivers - Long, thin triangles are dissolved based on a formula hard coded within the software. Note the Maximum Triangle Side Length is ignored. There are no user defined parameters.

    Max Triangle Length - External triangles whose external edge is longer in length than the user specified distance are deleted. Note the side option does not apply to internal triangles, only those on the edge of the model. Specify the Maximum Triangle Side Length in master units.
