Hi Michael, thanks for your help and I will check in with VW. If there is any news, I'll post here for VectorWorks users. 
 
One final note, the problem might be the IGES>VW AND SAT>VW conversion. The images below are a VW-generated sphere (same 6" rad. as previous) and it results in about 85% fewer objects and 70% fewer lines in the final object. 
 
Thanks for a great product.
