Wow.  You went through all the processing to combine co-planar,
congruent triangles into equivalent quads?  I'm in awe.

Have fun!

but why do we care???... cause it came from this:

12 triangular 3DSMAX faces making up a cube... converted into 6 quad faces
making the same cube in LDraw format... the first step to being able to model
ANYTHING in 3DSMAX and then ship it straight over to LDraw....

(i'm just really proud of myself and wanted to share... off to code some more!)

(...) well... yeah... i mean... that cuts the number of lines in the .DAT in half... heehe... i figure i should try to make the .DAT as compact as possible, since converting from a 3DS model is going to mean i won't be using any LDraw primitives.. (...) (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
