Hi everybody,

To be short :
How can I convert a Nef_Polyhedron_3 which is not simple (a face has a hole in it) in a Polyhedron_3 (which I visualize later in VRML format) ?
Is there already a simple procedure which do so or do I have to program an algorithm ( which for example triangulate the non-simple-face ) ?

My project is to use CGAL to build a small CSG modeler. The primitives are simples polyhedrons but the result after a great number of booleans operations may be very complex. So I begin with some tests and even with the union of 2 simples tetrahedrons I can generate a non simple polyhedron (a corner of one tetrahedron intersect a face of the other and the intersection remain inside the face).

Is there anyone who can help me ?
Thanks in advance.
