Hi Brent:
Rhino will do all that. (www.rhino3d.com) You can even do it with the
free evaluation version.

The What command will tell you if it is "Closed". If it's not (open) then
the ShowEdges command will show you where and the MatchMeshEdge command will
close it up.
Yes, I have a vested interest in Rhino. I do tech support, training, and
developer testing.
