I don't have the part with me, so I'm not positive about this, but...
If you look at the underside of the part you seem to be missing
two triangles, one on the left and one on the right.  You can see
inside the bottom part of those three steps.  I added some color to
in this pic so you can see what I'm talking about.

I looked at the picture mentioned above, looked at the part with L3lab,
LDview and l3glite~3.7.?, couldn't see the missing pieces, you are indicating.
Otherwise the part looks great! Even the studs are correctly oriented. (yes,
I check for that too...)
So Bernd, do you want to try for some BFC CERTIFY'ing? :) It would help the
rendering times with L3lab. I'm not sure what other programs are using this
function yet.

OK, I checked the part a bit more.  If you look at line 568 in the
file it's a quad, but it should be a triangle.  The 4th point is the
same as the 2nd point.  I'm not sure why the l3 parser in ldglite
doesn't convert it to a triangle during parsing.  I'll have to look
into that further.  The ldlite parser does seem to fix it.

Meanwhile these two quads should probably be converted into triangles
on the part.  I don't think you can BFC CERTIFY a V shaped quad with
no face.  ;)

Otherwise, you're right, the part looks great!

(...) It is by design. I chose to ignore the line, the author should fix the problem. (He gets a warning (hm, should have been an error)) Likewise if a triangle has identical vertices I don't "fix" it to a line or a point. /Lars (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
