I have this model

enter image description here

And I want to remove all the tris in the middle to reduce the count and keep it flat enter image description here

How would I go about doing this?

    $\begingroup$ I am sorry but I see no triangles. Could you elaborate and explain more what you are trying to achieve? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 7, 2022 at 8:00

We can't see any tris, but if you're talking about reducing the amount of quads from 6 to 2 you can do it this way:

enter image description here

First select this edge and push it:

enter image description here

Join the opposite vertices:

enter image description here

Dissolve the vertical edges:

enter image description here

Then push these edges:

enter image description here

And again join and dissolve:

enter image description here

enter image description here

You can even end up with 1 quad if your topology allows you (you need to dissolve an horizontal edge on the left or on the right):

  • $\begingroup$ Hey thanks for the support, I'm not sure you can trust the translation, it seems whimsical from what I saw, learn french instead aha ;) $\endgroup$
