I've noticed an error in part #30250, that was named "Brick  2 x  4 x  3
Notched with Side  5 x  4 Plate" during the vote. Four box5.dat primitives
have been used to form "friction rims" at the under/inside of the part, but
they are not properly rotated. In Under-right-back view you look into the
open side of all four box5.dat primitives.
Besides that, I'm not in favour of continuing the type 2 line along the
bottom face between the rim and the wall it sitting against. The bottom face
of the rim and the bottom face of the wall are on the same plane, so there
is no reason to separate them.
Please consider using the box4-4a.dat primitive for the rims, in combination
with rect.dat primitives for the wall side faces between the rims. Eliminate
your corresponding type 2 lines. The following dat file is a demonstration
of this method. It is modelled upside down, so it can be viewed in the
default view easily. use -s5 or 500% for the magnification.

Jaco, in case it's not clear to you, I can send you a some GIF pictures
about it. A 3D bottom view of current vote part #32059 "Plate  4 x  6
without Corners" is a good example of how nice these rims can look like,
although Steve did it the hard way, without using primitives for the rims.

Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
