Define/Reduce the number of points used to define a branch

Hi there

I generated the points and the branch for my river with using a shape file. However, for the length of the river of about 145km, around 125'000 point were generated. Approximatly ever 1-2m a point. Due to that the performance of the software dropped massively, leading to a waiting time of 30-60sec after each action.
How can I reduce the number of point that are used to define the branch? Is it only possible mannually by deleting point by point?

Many thanks :)

If your shapefile was generated in Arcmap, you could try the 'simplify line' tool in Arcmap to reduce the number of vertices.  Then import the simplified line to Mike11.

Hi,

instead of editing the number of points, you can also try to simply switch off the display of these points, from the menu Settings \ Network.

Hi there
Thanks a lot for your answers!!
I did it in the first way..by generating a new shape file with less points.
