- Construction History
  View and edit the construction history of your model.
- Global References
  Global references are the global origin, axes, and planes shown in the modeling window. They can be helpful when creating and defining your model.
- Sketching
  Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
- Geometry
  Create and modify parametric surfaces and solids.
- PolyMesh
  Create polymesh objects from other types of geometry and results.
  - Shrinkwrap
    Use the Shrinkwrap tool to surround parts with a single isosurface.
  - Fill Hole
    Use the Fill Hole tool to fill holes on mesh parts.
  - Remove
    Use the Remove tool to automatically find small disconnected regions of a mesh part and delete them.
  - Sculpt
    Use the Sculpt tool to modify the original mesh using one of several brush tools.
  - Smooth
    Use the Smooth tool to smooth mesh geometry.
- PolyNURBS
  Create free-form solid geometry that is smooth and continuous.
Molding Setup
Use Quick Mode or Advanced Mode, depending on your needs, to define the parts, materials, runner system, and tooling for the molding simulation.
Molding Analysis
Run an injection molding analysis to minimize defects and prevent manufacturing problems.

Smooth

Use the Smooth tool to smooth mesh geometry.

If starting from an optimized part in Inspire, first copy the part and then select Paste Without Reference in the Model Browser.
On the PolyMesh ribbon, select the Smooth tool.

Tip: To find and open a tool, press Ctrl+F. For more information, see Find and Search for Tools.
Select mesh geometry to smooth.
Use the slider and other options to adjust the amount of smoothing.

Tip:

The Maintain Volume option is enabled by default. Deselecting this option tends to provide even smoother results, but material may appear thin or be removed entirely in some regions.
The greater the number of Iterations, the smoother the result will be.
