hi list,

although we may seem that the ordering may not be important right
now....but i do find that it is getting important for future use.

one interesting aspect is that i found that in Magics RP a STL from
Surfacer looks like garbage while it looks perfectly okay in Magics
RP....and vice versa.

ordering of the STL does has some needs for machining(sorry i am not an
expert), surface creation(digitised point to STL).

i think it is only time that STL triangular ordering will get its
importance.

Sincerely,
joseph sim
