All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<Triangle3d>
```
public interface TriangleMesh
extends Iterable<Triangle3d>
```
Represents a mesh made of triangles. TriangleMesh is also an Iterable of triangles. Since this is an iterable, using iterating over it from multi threads at the same time is not safe, since the iterations conflict with each other. For multi-threaded access, be sure to call toTriangleCollection() or toPointCollection() and use those collections.

```
    Returns true if the closed TriangleMesh is inside-out, meaning that the normals of the surface triangles point inwards instead of outwards. An inside-out mesh is produced when its triangles are oriented clockwise when looking from the outside, instead of being oriented counter-clockwise. When a clockwise mesh is joined to a counter-clockwise mesh, their volume is subtracted instead of added, and some of the mesh algorithms may return unintuitive or incorrect results. The result of this method is meaningful only for closed meshes that have self-consistent triangle orientation.
