I'm not sure yet, but just playing around with this thing, it looks like it may expect manifold input meshes ("watertight", with no holes). The final mesh generation step seems to have trouble with edges of open holes on a mesh (what the program calls "boundaries"). This trouble may be avoidable if you work to customize the edge flow of the orientation and position fields before reaching the final steps. The overall process seems similar to the 3DCoat Retopo tool, but is much faster, with a less baffling interface.
