Thanks.

The user has to manually place the cutting shape. The assumed placement and
orientation of the plane/edge to be damaged by the macro is fixed. If I find a
nice way to improve the user-friendlyness, I may do so eventually, but I am
currently focussing my attention on improving the results of the macro.

Yes, looking at PoseRay's feature list suggests that it supports adaptive
merging of neighbouring triangles to reduce the size of meshes. Unfortunately,
I am only running OS X at home, which isn't supported, so I cannot try it out
myself. Maybe similar functionality is provided by a simpler command-line tool
that's cross-platform though. I will see if I can find anything once I finished
my macros. I still need to write the one for corners after all. Furthermore, I
am still improving the plane and edge damage macro.
