Hmmm I feared that much:) So I've just finished the calculations, and are
about to punch numbers again:)
BUT, there's one large problem (well to me it is:)). I've never been good
friends with matrices, so I use LEdit to rotate subparts with (works quite
painlessly) but when I tried to load a dat file containing:
1 5 0 0 0 0 -192 0 0 0 40 40 0 0 48\1-4cyli.dat
nothing happened, in fact LEdit converted 48\1-4cyli.dat to 48\1-4cyli.d (or
something very similar, the path and name got truncated).
Now, how to avoid that? Am I just using the part wrongly?
BTW. Just to get it perfectly clear. The cylinder part I need is 142 degrees,
so I'm going to take two hi-res 1-4cyli's and slide them into each other by
7.5 degrees increments, and use a type 4 line for the last 7 degrees.
Is this okay? I guess I could create a hi-res 1-8cyli, but if the above is
legal, acceptable and approvable I'd rather stick to as few primitives as
possible.
Sincerely John Jensen.
