In Topology Simplify, you can untrim face, search and fix fillet surface, search and remove fillet edge, reshape face boundary, and remove inner loop face.
To open Topology Simplify:
Click Topology Simplify (Geometry Tools toolbar) or click Geometry, Geometry Tools, Topology Simplify.
Topology Simplify contains five basic parts:
Untrim Surface
Unfillet Face
Unfillet Edge
Edge Reshape
The Untrim Surface contains:
a. Raw trimmed face |
b. Untrim the whole surface |

a. Raw trimmed face and its basic surface is cylinder |
b. Untrim the whole surface |
c. Untrim the whole surface and check "Natural Bound" |

a. Raw face |
b. Untrim surface by selecting top several edges (Connect End Points) |
c. Untrim surface by selecting top several edges (Linear Extend Edges) |
d. Untrim surface by selecting top several edges (Natural Extend Edges) |
The Unfillet Face try to search the fillet surface from the model, and try to remove the fillet surface by extending neighbor faces and trim with each.
a. Raw faces |
b. Faces after fillet surface removing |
a. Raw faces |
b. Faces after fillet surface removing |
The Unfillet Edge try to search the fillet edges from the model, and try to remove the fillet edges by extending neighbor edges and trim with each.
a. Raw face |
b. Face after fillet edge removing |
The Edge Reshape allow user select two positions on the face boundary, and try to regroup boundaries according to the edge tangent direction. The option "Join Reshaped Edges" will connect two new tangent curves into one curve. The option "Only Apply to Face" will only regroup the face boundaries and will not stitch this new face to other neighbor faces.
a. Select two positions on raw face |
b. Face after reshape edge |
The Inner Region allow user select seed face to remove all inner loop faces which locate inside the seed face and untrim the seed face at the loop region.
![]() |
![]() |
a. Select one seed face |
b. remove inner face loop in seed face and untrim the loop region |
The Merge Same Surf search two faces which has the same geometry surface from a shell, and finially merge them together.
![]() |
![]() |
a. Raw shell has two faces, they are from a cylinder surface |
b. Search and merge |
