I have a Delaunay_triangulation_3 and I want to convert it into a Polyhedron_3 data structure.
 
Ideally, I would only convert the convex hull (with no interior edges) of the triangulation to the polyhedron. I sent another mail about this problem, but I sent a new one as this was a more specific question.
 
Looks like I didn't take a good look at the convex hull example I have here:
 
CGAL::convex_hull_3(points.begin(), points.end(), ch_object);
CGAL::assign(polyhedron, ch_object);
 
I was hoping I could assign the entire triangulation to a polyhedron, and then use the polyhedron structure to delete interior edges?
