I am still not fully sure about another final rounding.
in example;  round( r* round( sin( Angle ), 4), 4)
This is the current method I am using.


Here is a reason for doing this this way.
How many times have you actually calculated the true points and made a new
primitve Only to find out that when another rescaled primitive will not match up
and render correctly. This is the reason why the method I have shown above must
be used.

Thanx for the explanation, it's clear to me now.
I'll update my primitive generator and reupload the
primitives I have put on the PT

Sounds good. Make sure your generator is using spaces and not tabs. I have not
checked to see how the original Ldraw responds to tabs as number seperators.

(...) Just for the record, LDRAW.EXE and LEDIT.EXE both allow tabs as separaters. But they also allow line breaks as number separaters. :O Steve (21 years ago, 21-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad)
