surface from a stack of contours?

[Sven Prevrhal]

Hi,
>From a StructuredPoints volume, I have created a stack of contours with
equal z distances. (one contour per slice of the volume). The contour
points are sorted clockwise.  Now, I'd like to "triangulate" these
contours to a surface.

One way would be to create a second volume with same dimensions,  set
the contour points in this volume to 1 and then use marching cubes.
Rather memory and computationally expensive.

I guess I could also write my own triangulator, but isn't there an
easier way?

Thanks in advance
Sven
