  Re: Low res 1-8 sphere primitve
 
(...) I'm not sure I understand why they'd be unnecessary for the larger versions. 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, (...)

  Re: Low res 1-8 sphere primitve
 
(...) He put in the type 5 lines at the joins between the eighth spheres in the n-8sphe files (where n > 1). 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 (...)

  Re: Low res 1-8 sphere primitve
 
(...) I'm an idiot, but I think I understand now. The larger *sphe.dat files must simply include of a bunch of 1-8sphe.dat instances as type 1 lines. So yes, you only need the type 5 edge lines in the 1-8sphe.dat file if it's made right. Don (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
