(...) Looking at how the geometry is layed out, I think you've hit a limitation in LDView's smoothing algorithm. In other words, the lack of smoothness is caused by a problem with LDView, not by a problem with your layout. The basic cause of the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

In lugnet.cad.dat.parts, Travis Cobbs writes: hi travis, (...) thx for the tip. I remodeled the whole thing and were able to fix it, well almost... looking closely in LDView you can see a rough area where the two 2-4ndis meet the rest of the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I'm not sure the part authors will be able to help you, but my knowledge of LDView probably will. After looking at it in LDView (without actually trying to read your DAT code), I believe the problem is that you have a T-intersection, and the (...)

Could some of the senior-authors please have a look at the cond. lines? I'm in trouble with the section around the visor holes. I tried to add some cond. lines but LDView still doesn't show it with a smooth surface. I have no idea what's wrong. Many (...) (22 years ago, 23-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I checked some geometry websites, and the consensus is that these are tori. Just not the common type. (...) Inverse-ratio torus is a better name, but is fairly lengthy. An inverted torus, I think, is still a torus, just with the surfaces (...) (22 years ago, 23-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I'm not terribly surprised. This is a great solution, as then, if for some reason in the future, inverse ratio tori are needed, they can use the same convention, just a different starting letter and inverting the ratio as appropriate in the (...)

(...) You might be surprised at how close t04o9999.dat would come. I can't see that it's any worse than the current t04o3333.dat file. Actually, I think I'm going to modify LDView to recognize nnnn in the minor fraction (where n is 0-9) to be (...) (22 years ago, 22-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Actually, it's not a new primitive, but it doesn't fit under the current naming scheme. My current 33089 (in PT) is a rather bulky file (55KB), so to streamline it, I decided to make a few new primitives. One of these was a torus with major radius 1 (...)
