I want to complete my Darth Maul head but I'm having trouble visualising how
optional lines work. The FAQ on Ldraw.org is extremely vague, and looking at
other heads in MLCad I can't see how the optional lines work. I can't run
Ldraw/Ledit on my NT Workstation machine so I can't see what they do there
either. I'm assuming they are there to put edges on surfaces from particular
view points but the FAQ doesn't really explain it (and the 2 pictures of the
"stud" supposedly showing the lines and which ones are removed when handling
optionals look identical so it's difficult to see what they do!). Anyone
have a good description of where optional lines should be put and how they
are handled?
