(...) Not to overwhelm kl.net, but if a piece can be indentified in an old manual that has been scanned maybe a DB field could mention that.

I renamed the primitive to box6nl.dat (since it has 6 faces). I revised the part so that now the rotational axis is aligned with the x-axis. This means that if you want to rotate the window once it has been placed in a model you will have to move it (...)

I have the same problem. In Win95, it was easy to correct; I just changed comma separator to a period in the Control Panel \ National Settings. In Win98, this didn' help. So first I simply zipped it and sent to Steve for inlining, but that's not a (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Thought experiment was very convincing. I'll redo the part so that the axis of rotation is around the x axis (I'll check the orientation of 30044 first to make sure the axis is correct).
