Damn Surfaces?

I don't know if you guys have had similar problems in the past, but I'm trying to import an stl into openSCAD and when I render with CGAL so that I can export the compilation as an STL I get "CGAL error in CGAL_Nef_polyhedron's union operator: CGAL ERROR: assertion violation!" Now typically I just send the STL through netfab's cloud service and that normally fixes the problem, but not in this case.

Any suggestions?

Try loading and saving it in the non-cloud version. When it saves it sometimes says that it will create degenerate triangles and offers to fix them. That seems to work in most cases. OpenScad has a known bug with degenerate geometry.
