reduce polygons

[matisok]

Hi all

I am designing climbing holds in Fusion. I use the "form" tool to made organic shapes. I wanted to try and made more stepped edges in the design instead of smooth. See the attached photo - I get the effect of the yellow on the shape of the grey.

Any ideas on how to achieve that?

Save as stl.

Import the stl.

Reduce Face Count.

You can do it without the export step if you create a mesh feature then convert.

Thanks. Both solutions are exactly what I was looking for. 👍

On the second method - is it possible to convert it back into a solid?

 I figured that one out myself: turn off design history and then the menu item "convert from mesh to Brep" appears.
