I am using the mesh on the left as a guide.  The mesh of right is my model.  What is the best way to get elements to be even and "nice"image

  

Here is what I tried (1) mesh density, but they are many areas and uneven and many to change.

(2) next I tried toggling lines , but there are too many points, i.e, gray dots

(3) next I tried add/ suppress points to even out areas  image

 

Question , is what I'm doing correct , or is there a better way ?   I've watched many tutorials but those seem to cover basic parts.

    your target mesh probably uses a lot of trim lines around the internal hole. Concentric Cirles.

    You could cut your surfaces using 'Quick edit' panel and 'washer split' around the hole.

    Hi Adriano, is there a function that will automatically do this for all holes in the part ?  Say if I hade multiple holes.  It would create washers around the holes a specified distance ?

    if you go to surface edit panel, you can select multiple input lines and do them at once. But not multiple cuts in sequence.
