I am a new user to GMSH. I am having difficulty understanding one of the examples.

lc = 0.2;
Point(1) = {0,0,0,lc};
Point(2) = {1,0,0,lc};
Point(6) = {0,0,3,lc};
Line(1) = {1,2};
Line(2) = {2,6};
Line(3) = {6,1};
Line Loop(4) = {2,3,1};
Plane Surface(5) = {4};
Extrude {{0,0,1}, {0,0,0}, Pi/2} { Surface{5}; }
Extrude {{0,0,1}, {0,0,0}, Pi/2} { Surface{17}; }
Extrude {{0,0,1}, {0,0,0}, Pi/2} { Surface{29}; }
Extrude {{0,0,1}, {0,0,0}, Pi/2} { Surface{41}; }

In the example, I can see how Surface{5} is defined and extruded but where are Surface {17} {29} and {41} defined.?

Is the fact that the surface numbers are incremented by 12 a function of the cone shape ?

I have developed my own example 3D tet mesh and can generate the quarter of the shape, (ip to the first of the Extrude lines) but don't know how to do the other three quarters to make up the complete mesh.

Any help gratefully received.
