Oh, and what is the best reference to look at for the answers to this sort of question? Since this is obviously a very basic question, and I don't want to hit you guys up every time I have a really simple question. -Chris

The 4th input on 4Point surface is optional, so just leave it blank to get a triangle.

Yes, but in VB?

RhUtil.RhinoCreate1FaceBrepFromPoints

Not the most obvious function name I'd agree. If you're doing this in 0.7 (and thus RhinoCommon) then the function you're looking for is:

Rhino.Geometry.Brep.CreateFromCornerPoints

This function has an overload with 3 and another with 4 corner points.
