I've moved on to looking at part 62696, "Minifig Hair Ponytail with Long Bangs" (x1930 on Peeron), and I found the part needs a lot of cleanup. (So does 30475, which surprisingly has received no cleanup at all desipte its submission to the tracker.) (...) (14 years ago, 16-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Actually original parts only have triangles and have been merged by stl2dat (the 4th batch used a different concerter and no triangle to quad merge is done). That said, I had a look at m62696, there are only 5 non-coplanar quads, all within (...) (14 years ago, 16-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I noticed the 4th-batch part I worked on had a significantly better format. That must be why. It was missing some edge lines, but Edger took care of that handily. (...) Heh, I would've thought my idea of a utility was more radical. I'm not (...) (14 years ago, 17-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) On the opposite! splitting stupidly into triangles is radical! The method you suggest is much more sophisticated and interesting ;o) (...) Yep. have a look at discussion here: (URL) it would be nice to have a tool to adjust vertices (...) (14 years ago, 17-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Well, at least splitting into triangles at the middle would produce a fairly clean result in that it would eliminate artifacts, but at the cost of creating extra triangles. I've been working on my adjustment tool and my initial results have (...) (14 years ago, 21-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I am short of time at the moment for a more detailed answer, but are you aware of Edger2? ((URL) The code is a mess, but it does a pretty good job... Philo (14 years ago, 21-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) It would be interesting to have a configurable threshold, a 0.1ldu move is not visible and might bring more quads to flat state. (...) Thanks - fortunately it was certified by two other peoples ;o) (...) Probably... (...) There is a special (...) (14 years ago, 21-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Ah, I was not. Very interesting. I'm still plowing ahead with upgrading Edger regardless because I'd like that built into this tool, but options like making inlining parts optional and not adding conditional lines within a certain angle (...) (14 years ago, 21-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Not sure what you mean - it doesn't check if a line has its ends properly ending on a surface vertex. (loosely related) I have a pending update for edger2 that check if the angle of existing condlines matches angle between surfaces. If the (...) (14 years ago, 22-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) reads the primitives correctly. What I meant about bad lines was that I noticed your tool does some checking for spurious lines; that must just be for lines between coplanar surfaces.

(...) So do I... That's why I love Sculptris that has a wonderfully intuitive interface (but it does help to have a reasonably powerful machine). Meshlab is more austere and lacks documentation, but the few needed functions can be conquered without (...) (14 years ago, 22-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
