Hi everyone- I have been using CreatePolyhedron to make shapes and I was under the impression that the vertex order in a face did not matter as long as I wen in the correct order around the perimeter. But in this example the faces with 6 vertices render differently when I use [0,1,2,3,4,5] order a…

I looked into this more deeply and I’m seeing that CreatePolyhedron triangulates the faces using the first index given for the face as the first point in each triangle in the face. So, the assumption that vertex order doesn’t matter only holds if the face is convex. If the face is concave, like in y…
