pyefd for 3D points

Hi!
I wondered if I could use pyefd for generating the contour from 3D data points, where x, y, and z are the coordinates of a generic point. Do you have any suggestions?
I really appreciate any help you can provide!

No, PyEFD is based on a strictly 2D algorithm. For 3D, you are touching on CAD or surface scanning and much more complicated matters.
One could possibly do one of following solutions:
- some kind of flood fill-similar solution
- starting with a bounding box and gradually shrinking it
- starting at the center of the object and gradually expanding
I do not know if they work and they are most likely very inefficient and slow algorithms.
But it is not PyEFD you are looking for, sorry.
