Could` add an option to automatically reduce the number of polygon non interactively (could do N versions with own ratios)

bpy.ops.object.modifier_add(type='DECIMATE')
bpy.context.object.modifiers["Decimate"].use_collapse_triangulate = True
bpy.context.object.modifiers["Decimate"].ratio = 0.1

Hi

Thanks for your code.

I have a question from where did you run this code is it from blender script?

I run it from blender scripts it does not give any error but I did not get any new generated files?

Regards
