Matthias,
What about the following pipeline?
Load data set
Filters - Transform - Apply (= identity transform = create a copy)
Filters - Extract Surface - Apply
Filters - Feature Edges - Apply (you may need to fiddle with
the parameters)
=> this should give you a reasonable geometry representation
Select the original data set and apply any filter or select any
representation you fancy
