Thanks Even, Does a TriangulatedSurface consist of separate Triangles, all with each three vertices stored explicitly? I.e. is there no shared vertex pool that primitives use via index? That seems to be what simple features dictates, but it's unclear to me how applications should work with it.

Hi, This is a call to discuss the proposed RFC 64: Triangle, Polyhedral surface and TIN https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc64_triangle_polyhedralsurface_tin ~ Summary: As of now, the OGRGeometry class (the base class from which all the subtypes are derived) is limited to
