GH-98163 ) CSGMesh3D now explicitly requires the mesh to be manifold. A manifold mesh must be closed, have each edge connected to only two faces, and have volume. Commonly, this means that it needs to be a watertight mesh without any holes and where you can never see the backside of the triangles. (
