I think I might have found a mistake in 2-4cyli.

It seems there is an optional line missing (or 1 too many).

I just looked at the file.  It seems to be OK.  There's one 1 conditional
line for each quad, which is right.

Notice that this setup gives a conditional line on one edge of the
half-cylinder, but not on the other.

With one side edged, and the other not edge, when you use two 2-4cyli.dat's
together, you won't get double-edges at the seam.  As long as you join the
half-cylinders by rotating, not inverting.

Wrong (inverted Z):

1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2-4cyli.dat
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 -1 2-4cyli.dat

Right (rotated around Y 180 degrees):

1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2-4cyli.dat
1 16 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 -1 2-4cyli.dat

Hi Steve, I disagree with your reasoning. (...) 2-4cyli.dat's (...) If I use 2-4cyli as the 'edge' of a part, such as a window shutter, then on one side I would have an edge line with an optional line over it, and on the other side I would just have (...)

For the Primitives Committee, I think I might have found a mistake in 2-4cyli. It seems there is an optional line missing (or 1 too many). I have worked out an analysis, but I can't figure out how to post it to lugnet. So if someone will send out an (...) (25 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
