[vtkusers] Combining 2D circular planes into 3 D toroid

[Sebastien Jourdain]

If I understand correctly you are trying to build an unstructured grid
based on a set of plane that are linked together.
Then you should try to build some 3D cells such as tetrahedron or
something more suitable for you depending on what information you have
from the nextnode.txt file.

You can look at http://www.vtk.org/VTK/img/file-formats.pdf and see
how the file are defined.
