Hi,

I tried the above code with the following added

Needs["Graphics`ContourPlot3D`"];
<< Graphics`Graphics3D`;

and got the error message:

Graphics3D::"gprim":
f[Mean[{{-0.7250000000000001`, -\[LeftSkeleton] 19 \[RightSkeleton], 
-0.3999999999999999`, \[LeftSkeleton] 2 \[RightSkeleton]} was 
encountered where a Graphics3D  primitive or directive was expected."

Any idea ?
