This command reduces the data points in a solid model using the quadric method. The Tolerance is the maximum distance the solid is allowed to shift. The program checks all the points in the solid model whether the point can be removed without changing the solid more than the tolerance. After checking all the points and removing points under the tolerance, the program can make another check of the points depending on the Passes setting.
