# Eliminate Spikes

This command removes the spikes found in selected mesh(es).

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select the mesh(es) and launch the command.

1. Choose the **Spike criterion**, which is the rule that is applied to determine if a vertex must be removed or corrected:
  1. **Non manifold vertices only**: in this case there is no spike detection, but only correction of topological errors.
  2. **Low**: after topological error correction, the software detects a low number of points; only the most spiky vertices are detected.
  3. **Medium**: after topological error correction, the software detects the spikes with a medium intensity.
  4. **High**: after topological error correction, the software detects a high number of points; even those that are not very spiky are detected.
2. Adjust the **iteration number**: The number of loops to execute during the treatment.
3. Set the **Propagation neighborhood limit** to detect points that become spiky after suppression of one of their neighbors. This number is the neighborhood level.
4. Check **Recalculate free borders** if the points near borders need to be recalculated if they seem incorrect.
