(...) (FUT lugnet.cad.dev) I draw everything but the edge lines with glColorMask() set to all false. This updates the depth buffer, but doesn't update the color buffer. Edge lines are drawn with a standard glColorMask(). --Travis (13 years ago, 25-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

OK, I think what you miss is the 4-4cyls.dat primitive, add it to a regular 4-4cyli and you basically have what you need. For the tip, you need a slanted primitive (ring and edges). There is a tutorial (unfortunately in French) here (URL) , (...) (13 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
