OK, well either way, I was getting some flack blown at me about co-points
and SDS modeling and how it's a horrible practice. I've been creating
forced hard edges in other packages (and Si) this way for some time on low
density models with no issues other then it being harder to select points
when a model is not sub-divided.
See- the slice tool and several other tools auto merge points in a funky
way in modo if you have some points living in the same place. They say I'm
a horrible modeler (which I have no defense against ;) ) and I say no- this
tool has a bug- so fix it or list it as a known limitation!
Luckily, the developer (lux) seems to agree it's an issue.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification on the co-points!
