All of the data is there, and the output can be tailored to the end use.
Why not have mesh2{} and the trivial{} mesh as well?

I would suggest that a user-defined name be entered, and that way the filename
AND mesh2 object can just be given that name straightaway.
Also, [X] include inside_vector
Default behaviour might be to keep the "model" name, but make the filename some
date/time combo - that also makes it easier to find in a big directory of stuff.

My browsers usually append a (1), (2), .. (n) to the filename automatically.
Maybe you have similar in settings?

Absolutely!  He does have plenty of skill and energy.

Good work, Kenneth.  :)
Every project that gets posted is one that we can all learn from, and one that
