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 out, since you’re left with the subtle differences in
shading to figure out how they’re extended in space (and if they’re in front
or behind earlier sections. A maze of lines won’t help on that, and that’s
why I like the polygons and corresponding lines to be grouped intimately
together (based on the polygon). But I guess that’s a question of style, if
you consider the polygons to be extended inside a frame of lines or that the
lines just edges different sections of the “peal” (surface).

I’m going to go on a bit more on this, please bear with me.
There are two extremes -- one extreme would be to put *all* edges at the top
of the file, then all polygons. The other extreme would be interleave edges
and polygons, defining each edge just before the first polygon that touches
it. I don’t find either of these extremes to be optimal. I prefer to get a
block of edge commands, logically grouped. Then a block of the polygons that
go with those edges. It’s easier (IMO) to make sense of things when only
type of line is (immediately) involved.

While I don’t stick religiously to any formula, I do usually try to group
“logical” sections together, sometimes even with comments! But I think generally
I’ve found it easier to do the polygons first.
