thanks!!! 

i was wondering about it from a mixing figures together point of view, a kinda posensteins monster if you like, whether if it were possible it might elimate the problems faced when parts have a different number of vertices where you are trying to join them.

ockham, are those pink and blue results exactly the same settings on everything but that is showing the randomness of the results?

miss nancy, as soon as i had written it i wondered how long till someone would mention the downside if it were possible (LOL)
