Hi -

Is there a way to reduce cube connections to the set of 6 quad connections on
the
faces of the cube element? 

Motivation: I have a 3D data set on a regular grid (imported via the general
array import format). There is a very thin (i.e. one gridpoint thick) surface of
constant value within this 3D data that is irregularly shaped (like say, an
approximation to a sphere - it'll look like it's made of Legos on a grid, or for
those that remember, the game Qbert). 

The key is that I want to do something akin to an Isosurface or Rubbersheet on
this surface, but it must adhere to the grid - the interpolation in the 3D
element makes Isosurface not useful here. Ideally, I just see the surfaces of
the grid cubes for which the data equals my value of interest. It seems to me
that if I can reduce the cube connections to just the quads on the faces, I'm
back in business. Or perhaps there's a better way of approaching the problem?
Perhaps changing how I import the data so as to have this information at hand?
Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken Smith
