I think I was able to trace back to the source of the problem. 

If I use the output_surface_facets_to_off function, I can see that some facets are not considered on the surface, and thus are not output in the final model. I assume that the dangling vertices belong to those facets. 

Is there a reason why this would be the case after a make_surface_mesh() operation?

Hello Sebastien,

Here is how dangling vertices are detected:

We convert the mesh to a polyhedron, using:
     CGAL::output_surface_facets_to_polyhedron

then loop through the vertices with
   for( VCI vi = polyhedron.vertices_begin(); vi != polyhedron.vertices_end(); ++vi)
   {...}
then the faces with
     for( FCI fi = polyhedron.facets_begin(); fi != polyhedron.facets_end(); ++fi)
   {...}

as part of the conversion to our own mesh class.

Any vertices not part of a face are considered "dangling".

Could you indicate how you detect that there are dangling vertices?
