I have implemented this option already and initial tests seems to be okay. I will try to do that with all the demos. thanks for the suggestion.
When you have a curve, mesh tools try to conform to the curve, therefore, it will result in a finer mesh. In many cases, the mesh fails and you need to spend a lot of time specifying mesh size around those curves.
