title: Triangulating a non planar polygon in 3D space
body: <p>I have an ordered list of vertices in 3D, that form a polygon. </p>
  
  <p>I'm looking to project these onto a 2D plane (as a way to triangulate and then calculate the area of them). </p>
  
  <p>I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing this though, anyone have any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: </p>
  
  <p>I've clarified the title to the real problem I had and posted the fairly specific solution that I used. It might come in helpful to someone at some point, even if it is a bit niche.</p>
