Hi,

I didn't look at the C2T3 polyhedron builder, but please have in mind 
that CGAL::Polyhedron_3 represents a surface, whereas C3T3 represents a 
volume. I suppose that you want to extract the surface of your C3T3 ?

As APIs of C2T3 and C3T3 are not so different, it is probably not too 
hard to convert the C2T3 builder.

Regards,
Stéphane.
