[Gmsh] Imported stl mesh size control

Thanks for the reply. What you suggested partially works for me - now the size of the interior elements can be controlled. The size of the surface elements remains the same as the stl though. What I want to do is control the size of all elements, including the surface triangulation. Does Gmsh have the ability to 'remesh' the surface of an stl before filling in the 3D volume with tets?
