Awesome, thanks so much TIG.
This plugin is perfect for reducing surface area of a model for 3D printing in ceramic.
With i.materialise 3D printing service, ceramic is charged by surface area so this plugin will be useful to anyone 3D printing in ceramic and looking to reduce costs.
Thanks again, this is above and beyond what I expected.
