Yeah - basically it will allow things that need a fitting tolerance to work better when the object is of a larger unit size. The original problem in this thread is a good example of what this is designed to solve.

When you have an object of say 10,000 units in size, then in comparison to that the regular fitting tolerance of 0.001 is just too tiny in relation to the object. It is the same thing as trying to get a level of 0.0000001 accuracy on a "regular" sized object.

That tends to cause problems with creating very dense results, because the algorithms that calculate refitted things will keep refining things until they hit that level of accuracy.
