(...) In mirror.ini, you noted: ; NOTE: I started using the Flags to keep track of which parts I checked. ; 0 = not checked. ; 1 = substitute part ; 2 = mirror across XY plane instead of default of ZY plane ; 3 = mirror and rotate a bit. ; 4 = (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It would need to determine the plane of reflection, and do the second reflection on the X components for left-right or Z components for front-back. (...) I've come up with the same results in all cases so far. I'll do some thinking as to which (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Dibs on Wings and files starting with 1! How hard would it be to support normal, self-referential reflections for patterned parts? So we could map all 973*.dat parts to themselves, with a default mirror. Steve (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Would that work in general cases, or just for right-left reflection? (...) Actually, I think they're not - "Steve's algorithm" (ha!) requires that both the MP and ME transforms be mirroring, so that the MF transform would be non-mirroring. (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I have tried to accommodate these sorts of behaviours in two ways: Priority and override. If two parts have different behaviours like a "dot" and a "Brick" the one that is moved to form the connection is the one that takes priority. If you (...)
