I just noticed that when I view a sphere in LDLite in a front, side, or top view, half of the edge line is not drawn. This is true in standard or wireframe mode. In LDraw they are all drawn.

(...) The term "bogie" refers to the _swivelling_ function of a wheelset. I can't see what about 2871 marks it with that function. The addition of a bogie plate to the motor would give a bogie function, but that doesn't have much to do with 2871. (...) (25 years ago, 19-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
