My goodness, that was one massive scary part! I’m going to look that up and see
how many lines it took!
I would have chosen the click rotation joint. I figured I needed a very simple
part to warm up.
Talking about “not too far off”, should I worry about rounding off a vertice to
the thousandths, hundredths, or tenths place?
P.S. - I just figured out, after several decades, what my math teacher labeled a
3D graph the way she did. While graphing the curve on the ZY plane, I aligned a
separate XY plane to the right of my main graph. I was running out of room with
my compass creating perpendicular bisectors. So, I super-imposed the steeper XY
slope onto the YY. My effort to save space bore an epiphany! I was so pleased
to finally “get it”! This type of “Ahha” experiences inspires me to create a
curriculum for kids.

Keep in mind that 1 LDU is already 1/64th of an inch, making 0.001 LDU 1/64000 of an inch! No part file needs that level of detail. The (...) (20 years ago, 22-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

| I personally round off the numbers to 4 decimals, but I’ve been known to do crazy stuff like modelling in 1/100 (max zoom in mlcad) and use 1-24 parts of high res primitives from time to time. But I would suggest you to round off to (at least) two (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
