3823.dat doesn't work well with P/48 primitives

Hi.

I'm trying again to BFC CERTIFY some of the parts, and I've noticed
some interesting things when working on 3823.dat line by line.

When I got down to these lines:

  4 16 -36 48 -20 -35.54 48 -22.30 -39.24 48 -23.83 -40 48 -20
  4 16 -35.54 48 -22.30 -34.24 48 -24.24 -37.07 48 -27.07 -39.24 48 -23.83
  4 16 -34.24 48 -24.24 -32.30 48 -25.54 -33.83 48 -29.24 -37.07 48 -27.07
  4 16 -32.30 48 -25.54 -30 48 -26 -30 48 -30 -33.83 48 -29.24

I noticed that the 1/4 torus that these make, were only 4 sided
(per 90 degrees,) and don't line up to the other 48 sided (12 per
90 deg.) primitives that I was using.

Mabye it's not possible to use a 1/4 torus primitive from the 48
sided set here? I haven't looked yet to try to figure out what
scaleing migh be needed. Is it worth trying?

(...) Uh, you mean *ring* primitive, right? The lines you quoted are all *flat*. I would not use 48 segment primitives on this part - it would be overkill. There do seem to be some incorrect vertices on those polygons. You could replace the polygons (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)
