The Resample Surface dialog box is used to resample a surface at a lower resolution. You may want to do this to:
reduce the geometric complexity of the surface (so that it is more compact on disk and in memory and displays faster), or
smooth out noise, artifacts and other irregularities in the data.
Note: You cannot use the Resample Surface dialog box to increase the resolution of a surface. If you have resampled a surface and wish to return to a higher resolution you will need to re-import or recreate the surface.
To display the Resample Surface dialog box:
On the View menu, click Scene manager to display the Scene Manager dialog box.
Click the Objects tab.
Select the surface to be resampled.
Click Resample.
The Resample Surface dialog box contains the following settings:
