You only need optional lines where the faces of the 16-sided prism (which we
call a cylinder) meet. So to make it perfect, along these intersections you
should code a contiguous series of type 5 lines in the inverse LDraw colour to
that of the painted areas. The third and fourth sets of co-ordinates can have
the same y-value as either end of the line and x/z co-ords from the adjacent
intersections.
Hope this helps, Chris
