Hi Luis,

thanks for your reply. I have tried to use the
itkQuadEdgeMeshToQuadEdgeMeshFilter already. The output is a a
QuadEdgeMesh with no points and no faces. I'm working on itk 3.20 at
the moment. This is how I use the filter in my code right now:

typedef itk::QuadEdgeMesh<itk::Vector<double,3>, 3>
 meshType;

typedef itk::QuadEdgeMeshToQuadEdgeMeshFilter<meshType, meshType>
qeToQeFilterType;

qeToQeFilterType::Pointer qeToQeFilter = qeToQeFilterType::New();

qeToQeFilter->SetInput(meanShapeQe);
qeToQeFilter->Update();

meshType::Pointer currentShape = qeToQeFilter->GetOutput();

Might the problem be that I use a non scalar PointType (itk::Vector<double,3>) ?
