How can I turn xyz position data with a hole into a closed surface to do more sophisticated lighting and transparency settings?

I'm trying to turn {x,y,z} position data into a closed surface. The data is the surface of a three dimensional shape that has a large hole in the middle (topologically equivalent to a torus). I've tried, triSurf(), boundary(), convhull(), and everything else I could find on mathworks support pages. The data on the surface gets quite thin in some spots. I would like to be able to make the surface transparent and apply lighting and a color map to it. I've attached the data file, what the data looks like from plot3 in a specific order, and my best attempt at a surface using boundary(). Thank you in advance for your time and support!
