Hi Tom

so concerning quad rmeshing - your first objection

it is what ronih did not finish but intended to do - to sketch above
mesh then to quad dominant remesh it.
the approach he used - allows such features.

the same goes for dual contouring - it might work not on whole mesh but
will reconstruct surface on given border and given mesh.

the papers are long
they end up with filling the reconstructed 3D with triangles - and
there is need to have algo for that
in addition to quad dominant remeshing tetgen goes here. Besides it
gives additional angle to view the problem

maybe farshary will reply ;)
