[V8i MDL] When is a shape non-planar?

[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343173/2vertex-mesh-original.dgn:215:0]

The attached DGN file contains a single shape element in the default model.  The element analyse tool tells me that it is non-planar.

  • mdlElmdscr_extractNormalTight tells me that it is planar (returns SUCCESS).
  • mdlElmdscr_evaluateCurveSpace tells me that it is of dimension 1 — a line, if I understand the help documentation, and hence non-planar.

What is the best way to find if an element is planar, so that my result from MDL matches that of the element analyse tool?
