I love TS out of all the App's on the market including the Fab6 App's
for models like Chrome.
I like Modeling in TS.Hard to beat nGones and Edges.TS Polygon tools
Rule.
But TS has a 3 Decimal restriction and it location of a vertices is no
stable, might move a hair.
and a vertices that reads XYZ.001mm might not read this is other App's.
Not sure it's even possible to do precision CAD of mathematical complex
meshes in TS.
I would think there's a App made for mathematical complex CAD meshes
that ya just type in the Emmanuel's mesh specs
and the App makes it for you.would think the decimals would go way
beyond 3 also.

Is it established that the sequence of areas given to Emmanuel
will give a "constant" transition from circle to square? If so,
why not just set the transition height to the given maximum and
let tS do the usual thing? If the sequence of areas is NOT a
constant transition, and follows some profile, then there's more
to it than just managing the number of vertices.

And if those areas are really supposed to be accurate to 5
decimal places, then it would appear that tS is not the best
tool for the job. If they're NOT supposed to be that accurate,
one wonders if the originator of the project knows exactly what
he's asking for.
