  1.   COMMAND SMOOTHINNER
  2. -----------------------------------------------------------------
  3.     Purpose: Smooth objects using a very complicated and slow algorithm
  4.              which produces incredible results. The boundary zone
  5.              of the object will be kept unchanged
  6.              (This is good for re-joining splitted sections.)
  7.  
  8.              SCALE specifies the scale-factor of the spline-tangents,
  9.              a higher value results in a higher bend of the
  10.              interpolated curves.
  11.  
  12.              The parameter "noHalveSegs" turns off the interpolation of
  13.              difficult sections using splines - the points will be
  14.              created using lines instead
  15.              (You should try to drag them by hand)
  16.  
  17.       Usage: SMOOTHINNER(<objectID>,[<scale>],["noHalveSegs"])
  18.    Examples: smoothinner(1)
  19.              smoothinner(1,1.4)
  20.              smoothinner(1,noHalveSegs)
  21.              smoothinner(1,1.6,noHalveSegs)
  22.       Notes: 1. There is a limit of 72 faces (source-object) for
  23.                 unregistered users
  24.              2. Subgroups and face-colors will be updated correctly, edges
  25.                 and points will be merged
  26.              3. This procedure was designed to work with the following
  27.                 settings:
  28.                  SPLINETYPE=CATMULLROM
  29.                  SPLINEENDS=OPEN
  30.                  SPLINESUBDIV=20
