This is impossible (in theory!). You might get usable results by rendering a 
3d-bitmap (a bit like a heightfield, but real 3d with each pixel saying 
either inside or outside) and making a grid from that data. kpm would have to 
calculate that data at 'apply' time, bounded by limits the user sets.
I would volunteer to do this rendering part, as I have a similar thing on my 
todo list for PolyDesigner - it might even become obsolete with this. Fitting 
this data into a (good) wireframe grid, though, is a bit beyond my algebraic 
knowledge.
