Decimate Contour Lines

This command is used to reduce the number of triangles in a selected contour line. This can be
useful when export to another CAD package is required.
When Cyclone reduces the number of vertices, it does so with a mandate of minimizing the
deviation from the originating mesh. (Deviation is measured perpendicular to the contour's
plane).
