Hello,

 

I have the following (general) problem: Suppose I have a vertex in a (manifold, closed) polyhedron, and I wish to find a direction in space from that vertex which will definitely turn to the inside of the polyhedron (within a small-size neighborhood). The normal vector usually does the job with practical normal computation methods, but not always. How do I find this direction? Are their CGAL methods which can perform this in some manner?

 

Thanks,

Amir.
