Dear Gregor,

Indeed, this was only supported with our new Delaunay algorithm. I've fixed the old algorithm so that it works there, too.

Thanks for the report,

Christophe

A series of points of the form (0, 0, z) with z negative and positive is added with Point in Volume. The output file was obtained by running
