Hello all. It has been a couple of days since I completed the model of the
bird and proclaimed it finished. Now I realize there is one more thing to do.
Since the bird is symetical vertically, I have "cut" the bird in half. I
want to inline the half-bird in the file and then create both half with
lines something like this:
1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 bird.dat original half
1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 bird.dat mirrored half
Question: Will this work? It cuts the file size by 40%. I need
documentation on inlining, if this is what I need, or instructions on what I
do need to do.
Next, the parrot is the bird with different surface coloring. How do you
create the surface coloring? Do I just set the color of the triangles and
quads to the color that I want? That seems simplist.
Any suggestions are welcomed. Dennis.

All you do is copy half the DAT code to another file (like s\2546s01.dat). Then replace all the you are subfiling with the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
