Force parallel tris to quads?

[grant.r.brown]

Hello.

Does anyone know if there are any addons or settings that can force “parallel” when converting tris to quads?

I’ve played around with various angles in the default tool but I often get this situation where what seem like obvious loops are triangulated in weird ways:

Any ideas? It’s not always possible to manually clean them up.

Even if you use for example something like the open sourced MeshLab ( Filters → Polygonal and Quad Mesh → Turn into Quad-Dominat Mesh )… there will always be some tris building a quad you do not want…
