Hi, Sondos-
3dMatch does give quantities of "matching-ness", it is true. However, these are still mostly for relative matching, not really anything absolute. It is a useful way to help find closest matches among data, but everything is still pretty relative. Volumes can match because they are relatively the best match, but they can still be overall poor fits. A second pass with eyes is quite useful for discerning what are most likely to be "real" matches, I think. I am not sure what would be a "reasonable" cutoff value, a priori.
