Construct a new 3D geometry from a list of points.
The list of points should contain sub-arrays, each defining a single polygon of points.
In addition, the points should follow the right-hand rule for rotation in order to
define an external facing polygon.
@param {Array} listofpoints - list of lists, where each list is a set of points to construct a polygon
@returns {geom3} a new geometry
