Hi! I need some help writing the DAT code for a curving tube. Here's the DAT code to show the placement (the start point, and midpoints, and the end point). I remember that someone (I don't recall exactly who) has some kind of utility that does this (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi all, I have found at a 30117 - 'Panel 10 x 10 x 2&1/3 Quarter Saucer Top' the number 30320 (it's a transp. light green one).

One question: The hollow studs on the outside rim couldn't be modeled with primitives above a certain level. Therefore if you look at them with LDView you see a smooth cylindar for the top and a 16 sided cylindar for the rest, due to primitve (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
