Whoops.  I forgot to remove MLCAD's ROTATION meta commands, and to edit the
name.  Here's the real subpart, with correct heading.

Personaly I'd suggest using ring primitives on the letters O and C to save
space.

Me, too.
But there aint no rings with a x-radius-difference of 1 and
z-radius-difference of 1.125. Or you need to have overlapping
rings. Even using ndis, segm (chord) primitives and triangles
filling up is not possible, because the outer edges of the
ndis primitive reach out beyond the size of the letter.
And for the letter C, the cutout is also quite hard to fit
using primitives.

For this part I might reccommend replacing the ndis and disc
primitives around and inside the O and C with quads or triangles
to eliminate gaps when ray-traced. The not true round shape is
no problem in such a small pattern.

(...) I think the O could be done with overlapping rings (and roughly 3/4 of the C), now that I think about it (I may try it before converting everything over to quads). But considering the C cannot be done without using quads, it may look odd that (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
