Re: cleaning up nonmanifold/lamina faces?

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

Thank you very much, Joey.

Your Plugin works very well in 5.11. It´s saving me a lot
of time and will sure prove handy even more in the future,
not just for working around that bug but for any seperating
of (*.obj ) geometry that is occassionally required and desired.

Kind Regards,

tim
