Hi, I'm no part expert, either, but I did notice that some quads were
missing in the lower section of this part. Also, the sides are missing
quads (I realize you already know this). Unfortunately, you will have to
create your own ring subpart for this (then post it), or fill the space with
individual quad primitives (and repost it). Please don't be discouraged,
because this is a great part! It just needs to have a second draft.
Also, for future reference, whenever you use subparts, make sure you use
"s/" (no spaces) as a prefix when entering the subpart in your main part.
This will cause whatever viewer/editor the end-user utilizes to look for the
subpart in the PARTS/S folder. Now once you've done this, when the end-user
places the subpart in his/her PARTS/S folder, MLCad will not "show" the
subpart, just the finished product.
I hope I've been clear enough here, but if not, either ask me in a posting,
or email me at:
enimor@earthlink.net
Once again, Good job!
Excellent first draft!
