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 decimals as the default non coplanar threshold check in LDDP is
0.1, and you would create a lot of non coplanar-errors by rounding off to less.
Does anybody know if the thresholds in other programs (like l3) is different, or
can two decimals be accepted?
Anyways, regarding simplifying parts I think one should always consider the
greebeling effect before erasing small detail (is the 4 pairs some internal
detail? I don’t have the part).
Finally I’d like to congratulate you with your first part, nicely done, now you
just have to BFC it, which is pretty easy. Here’s a tutorial:

And then I’d just say that I look forward to your tutorial on how to calculate
curved surfaces, conditional lines and I especially look forward to the
translator to a game maker!
And now I’ll finally shut up and go away...

It was better, but I still wish the vertices aligned in columns. (...) (20 years ago, 1-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
