[ A good explanation of the use of type 5 lines ]

That is, for the point (0,0,1),
its two points are (-0.3827,0,0.9239)
and (0.3827,0,0.9239),
and for the point (0,1,2),
its two points are (-0.7654,1,1.8478)
and (0.7654,1,1.8478).

And, if I understand correctly,
it is these four points which will determine
whether or not LDraw should render a line
between (0,0,1) and (0,1,2).

Yes, but you can only use two.

You should get the same result if you use either the two
points related to (0,0,1) or the two points related to
(0,1,2).

It would probably even work if you used
(-0.3827,0,0.9239) and (0.7654,1,1.8478) or
(-0.7654,1,1.8478) and (0.3827,0,0.9239).

Play well,

Jacob
