If I would reduce the decimal points the size would be reduced by 20k but then I get a lot of not coplanar vertices so that these needs to be split (increeses size) or have to store with the numbers.

(...) These two numbers (40391 & 40392) are the small s-curved neck/tail part. I opened one to look into it. So the four numbers above (40376 - 40379) get a higher chance to be the other neck/tail parts and the head. CU Bernd (21 years ago, 27-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)
