Hmm... maybe then I need to generate my own custom version of 76.dat by not
resizing/scaling but instead reshaping it to be the right length. I need to
look at that. (callit 76_26plates.dat when it is 26 plates long, etc.)
Like I said, I think this is doable in excel, I need to read up on part
formats to see...
I bet people would use tubing in their renderings more if someone posted an
excel spreadsheet to generate custom length straight tubes.
Either that or move 76.dat from /parts to /p ??
