Meshing Question Mesh File Structure

[thepenguin]

I was just wondering what the format for a .msh file is, because I couldn't find any documentation on them.

I can see most of the major structures, but the sets of 7 numbers per line, followed by the sets of 3 per line have me confused. I know there is one set of 7 and one set of 3 per mesh group, but I can't figure out what you use 7 numbers (coordinates?) and then 3 (triangles?) for.

3DModel.pdf in Orbitersdk\doc describes the msh file format.

Doc/OrbiterConfig.pdf describes it quite well, too.
