Hey everyboy:

I am trying to write my own STL to surface.dat converter. According to the manual, the first line contains three tallies:

1st number - vertex count
2nd number - total vertex count
3rd number - facet (i.e., triangle) count.

My question is: under what circumstances would I expect 1 and 2 to be different?

Thanks in advance, Gerry

Hi Gerry,

There are currently no circumstances where the "vertex count" and "total vertex count" would be different.

Thank you,

Thanks for the confirmation. Gerry
