BUG: meshes with differing pointsInstance and facesInstance were not decomposed correctly.

In case of differing pointsInstance and facesInstance it will
- read the points belonging to the facesInstance
- construct and write the mesh belonging to the facesInstance
  (so with the old, facesInstance, points)
- additionally write the current points to pointsInstance
