I think that a vote of some sort might be in order before replacing (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

I thought the idea was that ALL these primitives would have type 5 lines at the edges, but they would be extended in the tangent plane and thus only do half the job, (...)

So he put a set in the one join of the 2-8sphe.dat, 4 sets in the 4-8sphe.dat, and 12 sets in the 8-8sphe.dat. So instead of just being type (...)

So yes, you only need the type 5 edge lines in the 1-8sphe.dat file if it's made right. Don (23 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
