Yes, POV-ray isn't responsible for editing files, but for rendering them.
But I had the idea because it can instantly identify small errors in the shape
that I'd missed when switching from double to single. So I wondered if there was
a way to have it list or correct them without having to go back and re-filter
again.....

Note :In the models I finally store, I generally save the final result in single
float with 4 decimal places.
If they're POV or INC, they're more compact and still satisfactory. If they're
3D for print, even more so, because STL requires single float.
thanks!
