Figured there had to be negative strength blob at work here.  It's great,
except your macro might very well become extinct because of 'trace()',
although only in that the check for blob surface would no longer be
manually(?) done.
MegaPov ( http://www.nathan.kopp.com/patched.htm ) is what has the trace
function, useable for locating surfaces and their normals.
