Yes, thanks to your message with explanatory image. :-)
Please consider giving that to whomever is in charge
of maintaining the L-CAD FAQ at ldraw.org.

Using Steve's sugggestion as well, I'll call it "1-8sphc.dat".
I've also inserted explanatory comments inside the DAT file.
(Oh, BTW, I have found that I *cannot* use commas
inside a DAT file, because whenever LDAO processes that file,
whether to compact it or inline it, IIRC, it inserts a
carriage-return/line-feed just after the comma,
which screws things up for the DAT file.)
I've not yet re-oriented the DAT file. I just figured out
what Steve wanted, what he was getting at in his other post,
and I know how I could do this. But I'd like to know *why*
this would be needed. (This is a request for further enlightenment,
not a challenge of authority.)
Thanks!
Franklin
