Re: [ATM] Cell triangles and rtv

With 3 points, that is the way to do it.  Unfortunately, you do
still need the side supports to keep the glass from moving about
rotationally.  With more support points, like a 9 point or so,
one point of each triangle suporting the glass itself will
probably do a good job of restraining the glass, especially if
the triangles are restrained by a flexible support rotationally
from moving about.
