Arguments

`plyFile`	An object of classes 'mesh3d' and 'shape3d'
`cleanType`	logical asking what to clean, Verticies, Faces or Both. Defaults to Both.

Details

This function cleans up problematic ply files. Some smoothed files will have faces of zero area, or floating verticies. DNE and OPC cannot be calculated on these files. Running the plys through this function will allow those calculations to be made.
