I put by brother on the problem and he found that the macro wasn't finding
Modeler's Arexx port. He changed a couple of lines in the macro and voila!
problem solved.
Some observations I've made of the macro:
I find that the macro generates about 60% percent of the points you ask for in
the requestor. This is just my observation, your milage may vary.
I've used it on many flat objects without problem. Cubes, Fonts, etc...
If you use fewer than about 10 points the macro fails. (something about the
meter count being zero or something, I had my brother fix that also)
On the whole, I think it is a great macro!
