Boy, talk about timing. I'm currently in the process of adding primitive substitution to LDView, and the ?-4cyls* primitives were next on my list. However, while I could definitely tell they were different (one slope appears concave; the other (...) (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Yes. Just had a look through my sprue bag. Neither the 'plume' sprue nor the 'dragon' sprue have a number, though, as previously observed. On Tue, 5 Sep 2000, Steve Bliss (<n4karsgppt6mu2o2dn...j87esd@4ax .com>) wrote at 20:01:33 (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.pirates)
