How feasible would this be? LeeE Can you give an example of where should this be usable? - Matevz Cutting windows without introducing concentrations of points, which affect the smoothing curve. Try cutting round windows on a curved surface. LeeE So, in a model file will be written that object Window booleans with WindowBool01 object and FlightGear should calculate how many points there are really needed for the given distance, to look like a round one? What about if we use just Nurbs for that? That's why they are for anyway aren't they? However, pLib doesn't support nurbs in any way, so we'd need to programm them from scratch or start up with a new gfx engine (OSG??). - Matevz
