If your mesh is large, Nef will consume too much memory and you'll not
be able to perform the operation requested.

Using the corefinement based operations in the Polygon Mesh Processing
package will indeed not produce meshes with non-manifold edges.
It is something that I'm thinking about adding but I'll need some time
and financing.

If you can share a typical operation that you'd like to perform (you can 
share it in private message), I can have a quick look to see if there is
workaround that would apply to your setting.

Sebastien.
