BFC conversion effects

When I was rendering a DAT file I just created, I noticed that the
rounded corners of part 10p03 "baseplate 24 x 32 with set 358 dots
pattern" didn't come out in the rendered picture (the studs in the
plates corners were free-floating :-). I dug around in 10p03.dat
and saw that the 1-4disc primitive used for the corners had been
converted to BFC just recently. Figuring that the primitive's
normals were just pointed the wrong way I flipped them over the in
10p03.dat and everything rendered just fine.

Q: Is this the right way to deal with this problem? (I figure most
baseplates would need their corners flipped, and I remember seeing
some missing surfaces in other pieces as well)

Steve Bliss or anyone?

Axel

(...) Note to anyone, to avoid confusion: no primitives have *officially* been converted to BFC. Axel may have grabbed my set of unofficial conversions. (...) Sounds like the right way. We should try to minimize use of INVERTNEXT. A flip is better (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
