[vtkusers] 'Incorrect' Geometry on Conversion to Polydata

[Bill Lorensen]

If you generate an stl file from structured points, all you will get is a block.

I think we need more information.

For example, if there is an object contained within the structured
points, you can use marching cubes to extract it. Then create an stl
file of that structure.
