Hello.
I'm trying to understand how the 1x1 brick (3005.dat) is drawn.
It contains 1 stud.dat  two box5.dat (I have not really found out what that
is yet), and it contains 4 Quadrilateral commands.
The thing right now is how the quadrilateral things are drawn.

In 3005.dat they all have a constant  y-coordiante. And in the x-z plane,
they draw something like this:

*-----------*
\         /
  \_______/

Four of them (rotated so they form a quadratic shape)

How can this be transformed into a three dimensional figure when viewed upon
in your favourite dat-file viewer?

I think the other explanations have been very good, but if you're still having a hard time visualizing it, take a look at the attached DAT. I color coded the pieces, and exploded it a little. --Travis 0 Brick 1 x 1 exploded 0 Name: 3005-explode.dat (...) (20 years ago, 3-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
