Thanks!  I'll check it out when I get home.

There are a couple edge lines missing on the side of the arm.  Take a
look in wireframe from an oblique angle and this will be obvious.

Do you mean where the wedge thing meets the rectangular rod, on both
sides?  Those edges were left out intentionally, because I have really
modeled a curved surface with two plane ones.  There isn't supposed to
be an edge in the real part at this place; there is simply a gradually
curving surface.  This is much like on the "front" of the part, where
the stud meets the rectangular rod.  At the front, I used a 1-4cyli.dat
to model the curved surface, and I left out the edge where the
1-4cyli.dat meets the rod.

Here's an illustration:

The white arrow points at where I've intentionally left out an edge.

I think the edges should be left out at the sides of the rod.  What do
you guys think?

Please ask more questions if I'm being unclear.

Fredrik
