| | | | (...) The new-style train wheel (4180d.dat) does not use cones, but quads. This causes gaps when rendered (see on my site). Since there was not a single matching cone primitive, I used three. I know about the gaps between these cones. Because of the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | (...) I have created a fourth version, using primitives for cylinders and rings. Cones I have created with 16 segment quads for LDraw and a true cone for PovRay (using 0 L3P IFPOV etc.). The results are great! Now I need to find out how type 5 lines (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)
