Hi!

Hmmm... Are there other functionality to construct 2D surfaces for 3D point
clouds without trying to close all borders (or is in plans for future CGAL) ?

The accuracy of features isn't a problem, I simplified point cloud with one
meter grids.

The "Mesh Generation From a Segmented 3D Image" looks interesting, is there
something similar for classified point clouds?

thx,
Lehtonen, Matti
