I guess I'm thinking about this differently. It's not that the individual studs on the brick don't allow other mating angles. (IE you can place a 1 x 6 technic plate with rounded ends on any single stud at some funcky angles) It's the combination of (...)

(...) I really like the way the .dat format reuses geometry e.g. stud.dat. I think the clicking format should be able to do the same thing. I imagine that would be quite a bit more difficult to reuse if the clicking info was in the dat files. (...) (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.lcd, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I do indeed think it would be undesirable. As we all know Stud.dat gets used every ware. There are a fair few instances were the clicking behaviours of two bricks would be different even though they are both referencing the same stud.dat file (...)

(...) Unreflect is a better word--just undo the X coordinate swap that -1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 does. I believe they're equivalent things--I'm doing a clockwise rotation, then negating the X coordinate swap, you're doing the opposite rotation. I think (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Steve, Don--thanks for the explanations; this now makes complete sense to me (finally!). For a reflection about the plane containing the Z & Y axes (left-to-right), the reflection matrix (Mp) should be: -1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 Then Mp * (part-file (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)
