Hi all!

I'm a relatively new user to Pov-Ray. I use it in conjunction with other
programs to generate scientific figures, so I have some mild experience, but
I've encountered an error that I'm not sure how to tackle.

The problem is as follows: I generate a Pov-Ray file successfully from one of
the programs I use, and I can open it in the editor without any issue. All the
commands are already present in the file so I should just be able to hit Run and
let it go.

However, while trying to parse the file, the program halts and I get the
following error: "Parse Error: Mesh face index out of range". This is
accompanied by a command line becoming highlighted in yellow, the "face_indices"
section of a mesh2 section.

I'm looking into the Mesh2 section of documentation, but I was wondering if
anyone out there could help me resolve this issue. Any help at all would be
extremely appreciated!
