Result:
Processes 2 preselected connected triangles into 5 quads, with a central
hub-diamond placed just above/below the common-edge depending on
convex/concave surfaces.
If the 2 triangles are coplanar they are combined into 1 quad.
The Triangle's Materials and Layers are preserved.
or use in other code as
QuadsFrom2Tris.new() or quadsfrom2tris()
Without arguments it needs 2 preselected triangular faces, or use as
QuadsFrom2Tris.new([tri1, tr2]) or quadsfrom2tris([tri1, tr2])
where tr1 and tr2 are the two connected triangular faces.

I don't exactly remember the member... but I think he sounds wealthy

I've just finished testing it... and in some circumstances I've found that it can reverse some faces and mess up concave surfaces... I'm already working on an update
-
Here's v1.1
The reversed faces glitch etc have been fixed.

Here's v1.2 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=315130#p315130
The offset of the 'hub' has been [re]optimized... -
TIG,
I first ran it on the opposite side to this and it worked perfect. Did the other side and this is the result...
Nothing in Ruby Console if that helps?

Nothing in Ruby Console if that helps?Strangely when I run it on the SKP you provided before I get perfect results on BOTH sides
Can you retry and PM me the problem SKP if it keeps happening. I can't see how this might happen ? -
This actually does it on both sides

Here is v1.3 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=315130#p315130
This now successfully works even on the configuration supplied by Rich [I still can't see why it was failing... BUT it seems like it intersected with a ghost of part itself - weird - - this new version avoids this issue by making sure there are no coplanar edges at a crucial stage in the reforming ]
It's now a bit like 'Aspirin' - it is efficacious, but no one is sure exactly 'how' -
Works fine, trying my hardest to break it..
