Should be fairly easy to make it into an addon, but, what I don’t like is that I don’t have any control; I can’t turn a 32 edged cylinder into a 12 edged one…
I tend to model everything myself and as I plan ahead, I will probably not find myself in a situation where I’d need this.
But: I still think that the trick is great! Might be usable in completely different and unexpected situations.
