I got the verts to work and can plot the points, but am struggling to
create a surface through the points. Any recommendations on an approach?
The geometry is similar to: cut a rectangle through a sphere and slide
the piece out; the sphere faces that remain are similar to my geometry
(just small deviations), but I am focusing on simply trying to create
one surface on one face.
