Hi, I see that there is a jagged line on the surface indicating that the
surface is apparently not orientable, so normals flip where you see the dark
line (since the shader interpolates normals). You can verify this in Paraview
by applying the Glyph filter to the normals.
This would explain dificulties with the centerline algorithm, since normals are
used when extracting the inner Delaunay diagram.
Can you send the surface over? I can try to understand what's causing normals
to flip.
Thanks
Luca
