I'm pretty sure you're asking for an option to use the files in th 48
subdirectory; is this correct? I'm definitely going to add the ability to
do higher-res substitutions with my primitive substitution code (probably
not in 1.0, since it really needs more of the primitives--such as the
ndisks--to be generated), but you just want the primitives out of the 48
subdirectory to be displayed, right? This should be easy to add, so I
probably will, but with my programatic primitive substitution, I would think
it would be of limited value to most users. I suppose if you selected both
the 48 option and the substitute option, I could generate 48-level primitive
substitutions and use the files in the 48 subdir for the ones I don't
generate.
Also, if you want, I think I can send you files containing all the quads for
the 1-4cyls, 1-4cyls2, and torus primitives with a 48-subdivision
tesselation. They won't have the type-5 lines, though, so you might find it
easier to generate them yourself. I could also send you the procedure I
used to generate them, which might make the spreadsheet easier. Let me know
if you're interested in either the DAT files or the procedures.

Let me look into it. I can definitely add F5 refresh; in fact I'll probably
get that into 1.0, since it should be trivial. When you change anything in
the "Model" box in Preferences, it already reloads the file from disk, so
simply reloading from a menu item is a no-brainer.

As I responded to him, it's supposed to remember the last state (normal or
maximized) and size of the window. However, I interpreted "maximized" to
mean a maximized window, and not fullscreen mode. He may have meant
fullscreen mode, in which case my response will not make much sense. I may
provide an option in the future to start out in fullscreen mode, but I'm not
going to make it do so without the user specifically choosing some option.

You're welcome. Thanks for your comments and suggestions; they're greatly
appreciated.
