[Manifold-l] merge points to areas

[Bob Heitzman]

I used Voronoi Areas for a similar task. I think I draw a rectangle around
the area of interest to restrain the areas.

Once you have the ares you can use Drawing, Disolve merge the common areas.

Another option is to turn the points into a Surface (copy point component,
paste as surface in Project pane) and use Contours to make the areas -
should make for a nicer final product.

FYI the forum is the place to post these days - see your Help menu.
