this is a one shell mesh that is not water-tight, in edit mode.

Mesh to edit

The selection was performed as it follows: Select All; Select Boundary Loop; Select More (3 times); Select Less (3 times).

The objetive is to delete the vertices inside the red loop so that the border of the mesh is smoother. Any idea how to do it?

  • $\begingroup$ Welcome to bse. Watertight? Consider looking at the bmesh module For mesh above I would search for boundary vertices that are only used in one triangle face and remove them.. $\endgroup$

Deleting faces works just fine

Script here:

import bpy

bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT')

bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='SELECT')
bpy.ops.mesh.region_to_loop()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_more()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_more()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_more()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_less()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_less()
bpy.ops.mesh.select_less()
bpy.ops.mesh.delete(type='FACE')

bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')
