... As for watertight triangulations from the faceter, for single volumes, from ACIS, the faceting is generally watertight (though the facets from separate surfaces don't share points). But for multiple volumes sharing surfaces, the faceting often won't be watertight.<br>

That all sounds OK.<br>

If it's fast, that would be great. If it's slow and generating a high-quality mesh, that's probably not what we're looking for here (but would be using elsewhere).<br>

IIRC, it's fast enough even for large models. See <a href="http://www.imr.sandia.gov/papers/imr19/Smith2B.3.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.imr.sandia.gov/<u></u>papers/imr19/Smith2B.3.pdf</a>.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
