I get the error message "rect3.dat not found continue loading Yes/No". It doesn't matter what I select I still get lots of these messages. I haven't got this file in my directory. What have I done wrong, is there something I haven't downloaded? (...) (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I wasn't sure how to handle primative paths. I'll try it without a path and see if it works. The internal rings are attached to the fin in the x784s01.dat sub-part. That sub-part is really sort of a cross secton of everything except the teeth, (...) (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

To make the Hailfire Gear, I modeled one segment with one fin in 3DS Max. I exported it with the script I previously posted. Then, I spun the segment around with the following code. I also spun in 168 teeth from the gear tooth primative. // Hailfire (...) (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I'd recommend taking a balanced approach to nested sub-filing. A 48x48 area of studs could be NSF'ed to 22 lines of code, but would require 10 very trivial subfiles.
