triangulate polygons
The triangulate polygons module converts a closed polyline into a triangulated surface. This surface can be extruded or used by the distance to 2d area module to perform areal subsetting of 3D models.
Polylines with WIDTH in AutoCAD DWG files are converted by import cad into triangle strips of the specified width. As you zoom in on polylines with width, the apparent width will change, whereas the apparent width of lines does not change. However, once they are triangles, they do not define a closed area and therefore would not work with triangulate polygons.
