Well don't throw away any of that code - it may yet be useful if you later see
where things went wrong.

IIRC, I needed to determine handedness to orient face normals, and use a vector
cross product to do that.
Or maybe it was the convex hull thing.

or both.

As we used to say when I was working on my PhD,
"A month in the lab can save you an hour in the library."

Always ask and see if anyone has any working code for a task.
You can always modify it, or use something different if it's not suitable for
your needs.
