smoothing to single plane
 
Hello everyone,

I have a question about meshing to single plane. I have a surface triangle mesh that I am trying to extrude. It looks like the entire mesh is in one plane, but when extruding in the direction of the face normal, that is obviously not the case.

Is there a way to smooth a surface mesh to ensure that all the triangle faces are on a single plane?

Thanks,

Vitaly

Yes, sure.
Move the mesh node by using both the Interactive and Exact tools under Edit Mesh tab.
