(...) <snip> (...) Hi Don, Thanks for the help. I was able to make -mS work, but only if I backed way off on the 60000 number. By the time LPub presents the car model to ldglite to render, LPub has alrealy applied ROTSTEP to the model, assuming the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Well, without the entire command line (actually both command lines) I can only guess. First, 6000 is pretty far away. I think that puts the car out past the default far clipping plane. Second, the default view in ldglite is orthographic to be (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) There's also the matter of the 2x3 and 2x4 wedge/wing plates. The 2x3 pair is classified as wedge plates and the 2x4 pair is classified as wings.
