(...) Glad you like it. What's really fun is viewing a full sphere with the type 5 lines enabled, and then spinning it slowly.

Travis, here is a low res version of your sphere primitive. I moved the type 5 lines from the edge into the other sphere primitives, as to prevent them from showing up when it placed against a torus. I could move the edge lines back into the file if (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
