SMS:Filter (Data Menu)

From XMS Wiki - http://wikis.aquaveo.com/xms/

Redundant and overlapping data may exist in a scatter. SMS offers the ability to filter the data and remove unnecessary data points in relatively flat areas in the Filter option from the Scatter module, Data menu. The user specifies an angle. Each data point is checked to see if it is in a flat region by dotting the normals of the surrounding triangles.

If the normals are all within the specified angle, the region is flat and the point is deleted.

You can access the Filter Options dialog by going to Data | Filter... while in the Scatter Module.
