I just want to express my appreciation for these explanatory videos that have opened my eyes to what OpenSCAD can do more than the simple functions I've been using up to now.
You could, it would just take some more work to determine how the points are ordered to create the faces. Essentially it's easier to use the hull module. One thing to note , however, is that, depending on how you use polyhedron, you could run into issues where two objects share an edge, which is not allowed and would cause manifold issues.

It's my pleasure, I hope they've been useful.
This is extremely awesome.
Why not use the polyhedron() primitive ?

scad rules if u just need a model in a snap, does all the export for ya, so cool.
