    Dear Mohamed,

    I have have some problem getting mantis to work. after stetting the boolian to true I get this error:

    1. Solution exception:De type-initialisatiefunctie voor Wolfram.NETLink.Internal.NativeLink heeft een uitzondering veroorzaakt.

    Is there a way to set the where matlab is installed?

        Hi,

        I love this tool!

        Though I noticed a vertex error on some of the polyhedrons that would result in non-planar surfaces.

        So far I found this error on these geometries:

        {0}

        0. "Dipyramid"
        1. "GyroelongatedPentagonalBirotunda"
        2. {"RhombicDodecahedronStellation", 3}

        Best,

        Phillip
