Developing something that OpenSCAD can also use should be a primary objective if this is of interest to them. > I will edit my proposal and abstract accordingly.

They can which is why the decision needed is whether to (A) use a generic container of vertices, faces, and normals that directly converts to BRL-CAD and trivially converts to OpenSCAD or (B) a general polyset structure that directly converts to OpenSCAD and trivially converts to BRL-CAD or (C) a more advanced container that will preserve topological structure and probably be easily convertible to BRL-CAD and OpenSCAD. > BRL-CAD's rt_bot_internal structure contains attributes such as vertices, > faces, normals, etc. explicitly, while the > OpenSCAD Polyset class contains a vector of vector of 3D vectors as a set of > polygons.

I don’t think it matters much myself either way (as healing implicitly means you were in a bad state, so getting to a non-bad state however achieved is the most important requirement), but I totally defer to your mentor and others on that. I would want to use whatever has the best healing success rate. If you’re using a third party code, that may heavily influence what makes the most sense. Cheers!
