# Remeshing

The remeshing filter allows to improve the quality and the number of elements in a triangle mesh. It is based on applying a series of local mesh modifications through edge splits, collapses, flips, as well as tangential smoothing to stay close to the original surface.

```{note}
The remeshing tool can only be applied to triangle meshes.

The remeshing filter supports the following options:

* **Scaling**: A user-defined scaling factor for target edge length. Default: 1.0. Range: 0.01--10.
* **Adaptive**: Enable curvature-adaptive mesh sizing. Default: Enabled.
