simple-shaped areas is lower than that in complicated-shaped areas.

The elements selected before execution of this command will be divided to triangular polygons.
Parameters for [Build-Subsample-Adaptively-Element] Dialog Box
Number of points
Reduces the current number of points to the specified number. When the [Apply] button is clicked,

eter is set so that the number of selected points will be reduced by 50%.)
Range of errors
The program reduces data in accordance with the value that you enter. The value serves as a gen-
