The right rear wheel is in fact there, but it doesn't appear in this
rendering. That seems to be an artifact of how the rendering was produced.
If part #2 comes in front of part #1, it will be drawn transparently on top;
but if part #2 comes behind part #1, it will _not_ be drawn because it's
further back in the Z-order.
If I view the model from the bottom, only the bottom and the wheels are
visible, since they get drawn first and are also the closest parts to the
viewer.
I suppose I could re-sequence the parts so the ones with insertion points
furthest away get drawn first. I'll think about it some more after I've got
the rest of the program working.

I expect to have isometric part movement working sometime over the next
three days, using the method demonstrated with my proof-of-concept
executable #1, but adapted to work from any of the eight isometric views.
After that, development should proceed at a much more rapid pace.
