Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Tina,
I have tried your code and did not face any problem..
please be more specific on "the *.stl only contains some triangles".
The code is sopposed to save surface of the polyhedron as a set of
triangles. Are some triangles missing? Or did you expect some other output?
I don't use stl myself, but according to [1], "In practice, however, all
facets are simple triangles.". Probably it would be possible to save each
face as a polygon, not only triangles..
cheers
Jan
