This piece is so cool. But some of the optional lines aren't quite
right. A few appear when they shouldn't and some never seem to show
at all. You can see this in l3glite. Load the piece and zoom in so
it fills the window. Then spin it around with the mouse.
You can do the same thing with l3lab. Zoom in 1000% and turn off
linetypes 3 and 4. Then hold the ctrl key and spin the piece with
the mouse.
This should probably be added to the mythical Rarts Authoring FAQ
under the heading "Checking optional lines". ;^)
Have fun,
Don
