        A delauney algorithm is used to work out how to triangulate points.
        It's typically used to make site meshes.
        Your points-set includes several points that are located immediately above others.
        This causes delauney to 'fail' and produce something that's not like you expected; or more exactly it gives a valid interpretation of the points data - but it's just there are many valid interpretations and the one you want is only ever going to get made once in a zillion tries !
        So... to get a delauney triangulation to work first go, you must make sure that there are no points exactly above one another: so, move some points slightly or select a set and scale them very slightly about a center [ctrl] so that none of the points-set align vertically.
        If you look at the video-tutorial you will see that after the editing there are no points vertically above others when the triangulated mesh is made...
