Hello Steve,

I have been working to correct the issues you raised in your last post. (I
sent you two e-mails but they bounced back - so I'm hoping you get this). A
32V Class I geodesic sphere now exports to a POV INC file in 40 seconds
(all class triangles). Convex hull generation now has progress bar for
large data sets. Implemented truncation/spherical range adjustment
(geodesic module only).

You can see how this works here:

If you are still interested in testing the program, I can post you a pre-1.4
beta. (Any further communication is probably best kept off this group). Your
time and interest has been greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,

N.Shea
