Hi,
I am new to OpenMesha and currently working with the python bindings to build a quick prototype of my code before moving to c++. attached a simple icosahedron structure. I defined 12 vertices and 20 faces. When using the vf circulator I experience that not all neighbouring face of a vertex are found. I also found that the number of faces is sensitive to the order of the vertex handles when defining a face. when looking at the indices some are set to -1. Is this expected behavior or am I missing something fundamental?
Please find the minimal example below. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards, Marc Siggel
