I've seen this problem a few times myself. I've found there are more parts that have this problem. Up till now I've found at least three parts. 1) the bottom end of the hinge as mentioned below (hinge plate 2x5 base, 3149.dat, converts to tipper (...) (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

Well, running a bit back and forth in the file will give you a sense of the part just as well, and the you avoid starting out with a maze of lines: The biggest problem is that without the framing lines, the polygons is extremely difficult to figure (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
