Given: arbitrary geometry object in 3D space composed of triangles
Task 1: Poke a hole in the geometry by moving a single vertex at any arbitrary location in the geometry
Task 2: By algorithm only, identify the moved vertex - the errant one making the hole - and display its location

Subject: Tip: Fastest way to view a gbXML file
The faster, easier, cheaper ways people may access your building project data, the more likely a there's going to be a better outcome for your efforts. A small but significant speed-up may be as simple as providing a easy URL to access your project data more quickly. Examples might include:
Problem: You want to show your parents the project you are building but they only have an iPhone with email and web access. Simple to type URL is good.
Problem: Your colleagues are forgetful, don't take good notes or keep bookmarks, but they really need see the files? Easy to remember URL is good.
Problem: You are on site and there are 88 people standing in front of you wanting see the changes. They all have their devices, you just need to shout out the link they need. The short and fast URL is good.
Fastest way from a gbXML file to an interactive 3D visualization is to go to the gbXML.org home page
In your browser address bar type "gbxml.org" then press enter
( even faster on a computer: type "gbxml" and press Alt-Enter and ".org" is added automagically )
In the top menu click: "Viewer" and - bingo! - you are in the latest, stable Ladybug Tools / Spider gbXML Viewer
Attach the file to an email - zipped files OK. Tell people to download the file, type the "gbxml.org" URL in their browser then open the file they just downloaded.
Your only wish will be that the other aspects of your projects will be as easy.
