what is the correct vertex order in xml files?

Hi, I had some problems writing a simple xml world definition (couldn't see anything) till I found out the order in which I was describing the mesh was not correct. I've searched through the forum and manual (not exhaustingly), and I couldn't find any reference to how to describe the vertex. Is there any doc where it is explained? Than you.

A vertex is described as <v x="..." y="..." z="..." />.

Greetings,

Yes, I mean the order... as describing a cube with

<v x="10" y="0" z="10"/>
<v x="10" y="0" z="-10"/>
<v x="-10" y="0" z="-10"/>
<v x="-10" y="0" z="10"/>
<v x="10" y="20" z="10"/>
<v x="10" y="20" z="-10"/>
<v x="-10" y="20" z="-10"/>
<v x="-10" y="20" z="10"/>

the order in which it is described is relevant (or, at least, when I altered this order the cube was not a cube). Is there a strict rule for the vertex?
 Thanks for your time

The order of the vertices doesn't matter. What matters is the numbers you specify in the triangles below. So if you have a triangle that you want to make of the vertices at position 0, 4, and 5 then those three indices are important. If you change vertex order then you should also adapt the indices in the triangles.

Greetings,

Ok, I understand now. Thank you very much!
