Issue drawing FractureNetwork from Triangle Mesh in Petrel

I am having issues creating a FractureNetwork from a TriangleMesh in Petrel. When it is drawn, you can seen all the individual triangles - I would expect that it would be solid. Some of the triangles do seem to be connected, just not all of them. Am I missing something, or is there a trick to making the FractureNetwork appear solid?

The TriangleMesh is solid, and when I turn o开发者_高级运维n Wireframe in the 3D window it also looks correct. Link shows image with TriangleMesh next to FractureNetwork.

The issue seems to have been in the order of the indexes used for generating the triangles.

When the following code is used to generate a fracture network, the triangles are shaded.

    public static void Test()
    {
        Point3[] vertices = new Point3[9];
        IndexedTriangle[] triangles = new IndexedTriangle[8];

        vertices[0] = new Point3(0, 100, 0);
        vertices[1] = new Point3(50, 100, 5);
        vertices[2] = new Point3(100, 100, 10);
        vertices[3] = new Point3(0, 50, 15);
        vertices[4] = new Point3(50, 50, 20);
        vertices[5] = new Point3(100, 50, 25);
        vertices[6] = new Point3(0, 0, 30);
        vertices[7] = new Point3(50, 0, 35);
        vertices[8] = new Point3(100, 0, 40);

        triangles[0] = new IndexedTriangle(0, 1, 3);
        triangles[1] = new IndexedTriangle(1, 3, 4);
        triangles[2] = new IndexedTriangle(1, 2, 4);
        triangles[3] = new IndexedTriangle(2, 4, 5);
        triangles[4] = new IndexedTriangle(3, 4, 6);
        triangles[5] = new IndexedTriangle(4, 6, 7);
        triangles[6] = new IndexedTriangle(4, 5, 7);
        triangles[7] = new IndexedTriangle(5, 7, 8);

        IndexedTriangleMesh triangleMesh = new IndexedTriangleMesh(triangles, vertices, null);

        TriangleMesh triMesh = null;
        using (ITransaction trans = Slb.Ocean.Core.DataManager.NewTransaction())
        {
            Project proj = PetrelProject.PrimaryProject;
            trans.Lock(proj);
            string colName = "TringleMeshes";
            Collection collection = Collection.NullObject;
            collection = proj.CreateCollection(colName);

            trans.Lock(collection);

            DomainObjectExtensionRoot root = DomainObjectExtensionRoot.GetInstance();
            trans.Lock(root);

            triMesh = root.CreateTriangleMesh("TestMesh", Domain.ELEVATION_DEPTH, collection, "Test", "");
            trans.Lock(triMesh);
            triMesh.IndexedTriangleMeshes = new IndexedTriangleMesh[] { triangleMesh };
            triMesh.Color = Color.Blue;
            trans.Commit();
        }

        Project project = PetrelProject.PrimaryProject;


        FractureNetwork fractureNetwork;                  

        using (ITransaction trans = Slb.Ocean.Core.DataManager.NewTransaction())
        {
            trans.Lock(project);

            fractureNetwork = project.CreateFractureNetwork("FractureNetwork", Domain.ELEVATION_DEPTH);

            fractureNetwork.CreateFracturePatches(triMesh.IndexedTriangleMeshes);

            trans.Commit();
        }

    }

However, if the order of the indexes are modified, the fracture network is solid.

    public static void Test()
    {
        Point3[] vertices = new Point3[9];
        IndexedTriangle[] triangles = new IndexedTriangle[8];

        vertices[0] = new Point3(0, 100, 0);
        vertices[1] = new Point3(50, 100, 5);
        vertices[2] = new Point3(100, 100, 10);
        vertices[3] = new Point3(0, 50, 15);
        vertices[4] = new Point3(50, 50, 20);
        vertices[5] = new Point3(100, 50, 25);
        vertices[6] = new Point3(0, 0, 30);
        vertices[7] = new Point3(50, 0, 35);
        vertices[8] = new Point3(100, 0, 40);

        triangles[0] = new IndexedTriangle(0, 1, 3);
        triangles[1] = new IndexedTriangle(1, 4, 3); // switched order of last two values
        triangles[2] = new IndexedTriangle(1, 2, 4);
        triangles[3] = new IndexedTriangle(2, 5, 4); // switched order of last two values
        triangles[4] = new IndexedTriangle(3, 4, 6);
        triangles[5] = new IndexedTriangle(4, 7, 6); // switched order of last two values
        triangles[6] = new IndexedTriangle(4, 5, 7);
        triangles[7] = new IndexedTriangle(5, 8, 7); // switched order of last two values

        IndexedTriangleMesh triangleMesh = new IndexedTriangleMesh(triangles, vertices, null);

        TriangleMesh triMesh = null;
        using (ITransaction trans = Slb.Ocean.Core.DataManager.NewTransaction())
        {
            Project proj = PetrelProject.PrimaryProject;
            trans.Lock(proj);
            string colName = "TringleMeshes";
            Collection collection = Collection.NullObject;
            collection = proj.CreateCollection(colName);

            trans.Lock(collection);

            DomainObjectExtensionRoot root = DomainObjectExtensionRoot.GetInstance();
            trans.Lock(root);

            triMesh = root.CreateTriangleMesh("TestMesh", Domain.ELEVATION_DEPTH, collection, "Test", "");
            trans.Lock(triMesh);
            triMesh.IndexedTriangleMeshes = new IndexedTriangleMesh[] { triangleMesh };
            triMesh.Color = Color.Blue;
            trans.Commit();
        }

        Project project = PetrelProject.PrimaryProject;


        FractureNetwork fractureNetwork;                  

        using (ITransaction trans = Slb.Ocean.Core.DataManager.NewTransaction())
        {
            trans.Lock(project);

            fractureNetwork = project.CreateFractureNetwork("FractureNetwork", Domain.ELEVATION_DEPTH);

            fractureNetwork.CreateFracturePatches(triMesh.IndexedTriangleMeshes);

            trans.Commit();
        }

    }
