Bruno, Berand,

I posted this to clarify how I implemented the ideas for Patrick or anyone 
else who was confused by my post. I think it is relevant because a) there 
are many long threads in the archive on geometry which are difficult to 
follow (so the points may be hard to uncover.)  and b) I couldn't find any 
where someone has committed to this exact mechanism.

Cheers,

Brandon
