Hallo Axel,
this is a problem encountered very often. When you name g1 to your
Graphics3D and then do (with some knowledge of the rainbow) ...
pp = Transpose[{Hue /@ (0.15 (Range[Length[g1[[1, 1]]]]-1)),
Point /@ g1[[1, 1]]}]
~Prepend~PointSize[0.05];
Show[g1, Graphics3D[pp]]
... you'll see that your last point of the Polygon lies within its
plane. So in cannot be closed correctly. Just move the points around
(keeping their cyclical order of course)
Show[RotateRight[g1, {0, 0, 1}], Graphics3D[pp]]
Kind regards, Hartmut
