If you use the just-released LDView 1.9.4 during part authoring, you might want to pay attention to the following two new command line options: -ShowAllType5 -ShowType5ControlPoints Look in the the new command line section of LDView's help.html file (...)

Hi all, I'm making the Windscreen with the Ice Planet pattern, and I found an error by the original part. The length of the upper plane was to small, so I corrected this. I copied the original orientation, so there shouldn't be any problems with the (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I'm an idiot, but I think I understand now. The larger *sphe.dat files must simply include of a bunch of 1-8sphe.dat instances as type 1 lines. So yes, you only need the type 5 edge lines in the 1-8sphe.dat file if it's made right. Don (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Either: a) You rechecked the details pages too soon, before the PT had a chance to clear the votes, or b) You rechecked too late, after Carsten and Franklin had re-reviewed the files. Steve (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) He put in the type 5 lines at the joins between the eighth spheres in the n-8sphe files (where n > 1). So he put a set in the one join of the 2-8sphe.dat, 4 sets in the 4-8sphe.dat, and 12 sets in the 8-8sphe.dat. So instead of just being type (...)

(...) I'm not sure I understand why they'd be unnecessary for the larger versions. I thought the idea was that ALL these primitives would have type 5 lines at the edges, but they would be extended in the tangent plane and thus only do half the job, (...)

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