Hi Jan,

Thank you once more for your prompt reply.
Digging further into the error (and a bit into the source code -taking baby steps as I am a relatively new user-) I see that with the current implementation of polyhedra, yade calculates the convex hull using CGAL for a given set of vertices and that's where the error occurs for very detailed shapes. 

In the future I believe it would come handy if we (as a yade-community)
could import externally the vertices AND THE FACES (i.e. the
connectivity), so that a polyhedron is not built internally in CGAL
(which gives us troubles) but rather given externally by the user. -Just
an idea-

Cheers,

Vasileios
