When I got down to these lines:

4 16 -35.54 48 -22.30 -34.24 48 -24.24 -37.07 48 -27.07 -39.24 48 -23.83

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 with the following:

1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 1-4ring3.dat
1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 1-4ring4.dat

(except with the correct positioning and orientation).

(...) Yeah, Sorry, I meant ring. I actually wrote ring the first time then changed it. I guess I should stop thinking so much :) (...) Well, I just have the search path in my program setup to search 'p/48' before it searches 'p' so I'm picking them (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)

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 (...) (22 years ago, 30-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)
