Axel:
Your example:
Show[Graphics3D[
Polygon[{{2.5, Sqrt[3]/2, 0}, {3.5, Sqrt[3]/2, 0}, {4, Sqrt[3], 0}, {3,
2*Sqrt[3], 0}, {2, 2*Sqrt[3], 0}, {3, Sqrt[3], 0}}]], Axes -> True
]
Show the vertices in order by numbers (change the z coordinate of the
last point sightly to get a better view)
Show[Graphics3D[{Text[1, {2.5, Sqrt[3]/2, 0}], Text[2, {3.5, Sqrt[3]/2, 0}],
Text[3, {4, Sqrt[3], 0}],
Text[4, {3, 2*Sqrt[3], 0}],
Text[5, {2, 2*Sqrt[3], 0}],
Text[6, {3, Sqrt[3], 0.1}]}], Axes -> True,
Ticks -> False,
TextStyle -> {FontSize -> 24}
]
In 3D Mathematica draws the triangles {1,2,3},{1,3,4},{1,4,5},{1,5,6}.
I have not sorted out the rule for when edges are shown, but compare the
original picture with
Show[Graphics3D[
Polygon[{{2.5, Sqrt[3]/2, 0}, {3.5, Sqrt[3]/2, 0}, {4, Sqrt[3], 0}, {3,
2*Sqrt[3], 0}, {2, 2*Sqrt[3], 0}, {5, Sqrt[3], 0}}]], Axes -> True
]
