    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Will,<br>
      <br>
      Thank you very much for your time. I've tried v5.5 and v5.2. This
      "issue" doesn't seem to have anything to do with the versions.<br>
      <br>
      First of all, I would like to change my words for the N=5 case,
      where there might be 2, 3, or even 4 terahedra depending on the
      relative locations of the 5 points. <br>
      <br>
      However, the question for the N=20 case is still pending one. You
      can see the dangling points if you change the representation from
      "surface" to "wireframe". I basically have similar result as
      yours. Because the point source generates point cloud with random
      positions of points, you will see different results each time you
      change the parameters of Point Source (either number of point or
      the radius).<br>
      <br>
      Another question: is there another filter that constructs a grid
      from a set of points?<br>
      <br>
