Dear Laurent,

Thanks for your answer.

I managed to get the surfacic information.
But I am not sure why facet iterator variable for c2t3 does not work without 
initializing it.

If I try to compile the following fragment of code, 
C2t3::Facet_iterator it;
the compiler (VC7) complains like
"error C2512: 
'CGAL::Complex_2_in_triangulation_3<Tr>::Iterator_not_in_complex' ".
On the other hand, the following one can be compiled without any claims
C2t3::Facet_iterator it = c2t3.facets_begin();
Am I doing something wrong?

Could the reconstructed shape be input for the function make_surface_mesh?
or do we have another way to make surface mesh from the shape?

My goal is to create surface mesh from given points written in a file.
I think one way to do that is to convert the file format to INRIMAGE, GIS or 
ANALYZE one if their file format opens.
