TYPE: SOP
TITLE: Dissolve SOP

Dissolve deletes points, primitives and edges from the input geometry and
repairs the holes left behind.  All the selections are treated as a set of
edges, and the edges that are not part of any entity in the selection do not
get deleted.  You can specify the entities you want to delete in the Entities 
field.  The entities are specified as follows, each separated by a space:

Examples:
    n                  - n is an integer.       Deletes primitive n.
    pa                 - a is an integer.       Deletes point a.
    nem                - n and m are integers.  Deletes edge m of primitive n.
    pa-b               - a and b are integers.  Deletes edge between points a
                                                and b.

Parameters:

    Group              - The points, primitives or edges to delete.
    Operation          - Determines whether the edges specified are to be 
                         deleted, or the only ones kept.              /invertsel
    Re-compute Normals - Calculates the normals on remaining geometry after the
                         deletion occurs.                             /compnorms
    Remove Inline Points   - Remove points of dissolved edges if they do not 
                             affect the resulting shape. 
    Collinearity Tolerance - Threshold distance for collinearity.   /coltol
