I don't think we have an example in the repo that shows creation of
polyhedral elements. But this should be easy to do. There is an
example that extrudes a polygonal mesh (in 2-D) to get a polyhedral
mesh. This may or not serve your purpose. If you can specify what you
are looking for, we can help you write an example for it.

Remember that the connectivity of a polyhedron represents faces rather
than vertices (which is the case for regular elements like HEX or
TET).
