right on

about the massive info, the tiangle files are friken huge. We often mix in regular surface models when making changes to existing items. I have not had any experience with converting them to something more tidy. That is not really a issue in my type of work. I do trust the scans much more than our ferro arm (boat anchor).
This technology is really pretty cool stuff and it is only getting better. (until the chinese rip it off and resell it at $0.25/1.00)
and that is a whole nother issue
