Thanks. its all good now. I managed to play a little bit with the examples in 
the demo/Polyhedron/data folder. Is there a way to load .stl files or how do 
I create my own .off files? I designed a simple model (simple box) and I want 
to be able to export it to some extension and then load it or convert it to 
.off files. Is there a tutorial or demo for this?

The .off file must be oriented. Try to open the same file with the 
Polyhedron_3 demo, and see if the type of the opened item is a polyhedron, or 
a polygons soup. In the polyhedron demo, there is a function to try to orient 
a polygons soup.
