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?
