The variables nVertices,Vertices,nTri,nTri are parameters of the constructor of your class.
Thus they are not defined in the operator(). You need to define variables in your class in order to store them.

Dear Dr. Loriot,

Thank you very much for your kindly reply. I am trying to study the example 'polyhedron_prog_incr_builder' and tried to modify the file 'polyhedron_prog_incr_builder.cpp' as follows:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#include <CGAL/Simple_cartesian.h>
#include <CGAL/Polyhedron_incremental_builder_3.h>
#include <CGAL/Polyhedron_3.h>

// A modifier creating a triangle with the incremental builder.
template <class HDS>
class Build_triangle : public CGAL::Modifier_base<HDS> {
public:
    Build_triangle(int nVertices, double *Vertices, int nTri, int *Tri) {}
    void operator()( HDS& hds) {
        // Postcondition: `hds' is a valid polyhedral surface.
        CGAL::Polyhedro n_incremental_builder_3<HDS> B( hds, true);
        B.begin_surface( 3, 1, 6);
        typedef typename HDS::Vertex   Vertex;
        typedef typename Vertex::Point Point;
                double *v=Vertices;
                for (int i=0;i<nVertices;i++)
                    B.add_vertex( Point( *v++, *v++, *v++));
                for (int i=0;i<nTri;i++)
                {
                    B.begin_facet();
                     B.add_vertex_to_facet( *Tri++);
                    B.add_vertex_to_facet( *Tri++);
                    B.add_vertex_to_facet( *Tri++);
                    B.end_facet();
                }
        B.end_surface();
    }
};

typedef CGAL::Simple_cartesian<double>     Kernel;
typedef CGAL::Polyhedron_3<Kernel>         Polyhedron;
typedef Polyhedron::HalfedgeDS             HalfedgeDS;

int main() {
    ; Polyhedron P;
        int nVertices=3;
        double Vertices[]={0, 0, 0,1, 0, 0,0, 1, 0};
        int nTri=1;
        int Tri[]={0,1,2};
    Build_triangle<HalfedgeDS> triangle(nVertices,Vertices,nTri,Tri);
    P.delegate( triangle);
    //CGAL_assertion( P.is_triangle( P.halfedges_begin()));
    return 0;
}

Could you please help me to check the problem?



Thanks
