I'm not sure but I think it could use mesh2s to do that, by dumping the
array into the face_indices.

I'm sorry for the late answer, but at this week I have no time... I could
also use mesh2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is a feature of
Povray 3.5 and I'm working with Povray 3.1g. And this won't solve my
problem. My problem is to find the triangles of an arbitrary point cloud
which fit into a closed surface. Povray will not do this job, because there
are many different ways to define a surface. For this I want to write a
program (at the next weekend; I will post beginning of next week about the
results).
Thanks for the hint,
Florian
