Actually, I did this.
Now look again at the online help.
ListSurfacePlot3D requires a matrix of points and gives the required format
as {{{x11, y11, z11}, ...},{{x12, y12, z12}, ...}, ...}. This means that it
requires a data set such that
Dimensions@data = {n, m, 3}.
The last 3 is what the package is refering to when it says that you haven't
given it a triplet.
Should Mathematica have spelt this out? Possibly.
Regards,
Dave.
