| (2 URLs) PlanarCheck> helps you verify that all quads of a part file are planar enough to fulfill LDraw.org Parts Tracker requirements. While a triangle is always flat, a quad may be warped. This can yield weird rendering results, as exemplified by (...) (17 years ago, 27-Dec-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.announce, FTX)

| I was playing with pneumatic piston and switch linkages trying to improve on the geometries I've developed in the past. This lead to inchworm 4.
