<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello B.M.<BR>
<BR>
I ran into this same problem myself. I found it easier to look for something<BR>
outside of VTK. I wanted to go an open-source route and found netgen to be<BR>
suitable for my needs:<BR>

<BR>
It can take an stl surface from vtk and calculate a new surface and<BR>
a volume (tet) mesh as well.<BR>
<BR>
There are quite a few websites online giving links to software I can<BR>
only find one link right now in my bookmarks:<BR>

<BR>
Without any more information about your requirements I can't really help.<BR>
<BR>
There are plenty of pay-for software as well.<BR>
<BR>

Not directly. You can build a filter yourself though. I do it combining<BR>
smoothing and employ distance function to project the nodes back to the<BR>
original mesh (using vtkWarpFilter if I am not mistaken).<BR>
