Hi Jaco,
The right wing is being rendered weirdly because LPub thinks that the right
wing is being added using a mirror matrix.
You have wing1.ldr and wing2.ldr in your model. In theory you could get by
with just wing.ldr, because wing2.ldr *is* the mirror image of wing1.ldr.
When LPub renders the steps of a submodel, it examines the type 1 (add part)
line to determine if the add line means the model is being used as a mirror. If
not, the rotation matrix from the add line is not used.
If the rotation matrix of the add line represents a mirrored matrix, then LPub
renders the steps of the submodel with the rotation matrix of the add line
applied.
LPub thinks the bad wing is added using a mirrored rotation. LPub uses this
line of code to decide if the rotation matrix represents a mirrored matrix:
a*e*i - a*f*h - b*d*i + b*f*g + c*d*h - c*e*g < 0
The a-i variables represent the rotation matrix as defined by the LDraw file
format. The above formula is supposed to calculate the determinant of the
rotation matrix. If determinant is negative, we have a mirrored matrix.
Travis gave me the determinant < 0 algorithm, but the above is my
implementation. Travis, is it wrong?
Thanks,
Kevin

| (...) Well, scratch that analysis. wing2.ldr and wing1.ldr are exactly the same model. When you added wing2.ldr you *did* use mirror matrix. LPub 4.0.0.2 notices that you used a mirrored matrix, and rendered the wing with the mirror matrix rotation. (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
