I don't think writing the points from the array to a df3 would give you 
the results you want. I think it would just give you a surface with 
holes in it.
If you used the slicing method to create a df3. You would get spikes in 
the direction of the inside vector extending to the edge of the container.
I have been thinking of trying to do the same with bullet physics. But I 
am having PC problems.
