• Key Concepts: 
  Decimate is a term used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to refer to the process of reducing the number of polygons in a 3D model. This is done to reduce the complexity of the model and make it easier to render. The process involves removing or merging polygons, which can result in a loss of detail.
  
  How to use it: 
  Decimation can be used to reduce the complexity of a 3D model while still preserving its overall shape and form. To decimate a model, select the model in the SAP Visual Enterprise interface and click on the “Decimate” button. This will open a dialog box where you can specify the desired level of decimation. Once you have chosen your settings, click “OK” to apply the decimation.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When decimating a model, it is important to keep in mind that too much decimation can result in a loss of detail and accuracy. It is best to experiment with different levels of decimation until you find one that produces an acceptable result. Additionally, it is important to remember that decimation is not reversible, so it is best to save a copy of your original model before applying any decimation.
