Hmmm, Finally a use for the type 5 lines I've been ignoring :) (I have another - so far successful - way of drawing in those lines) (...) Well alot of this leads in a direction I've mentioned before. Which is adding strip and mesh info into the (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I tend to agree with you. My suggestion to Travis was based on about 2 seconds of thought when I read his email. It occured to me that type 2 lines are used to denote hard edges so I mentioned the possibility of using them instead of type 5 (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

You can move forword , backward and go left and right using the arrow keys. The rotation has to be fixed. It now rotates about the x- and the y-axis of the object instead of the screen axis (got to do some math to fix that). In the hollow places (...) (23 years ago, 13-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

You were right about the strange reflections. By accident I had put my light source behind the scene and had the facing flipped. Now I have put a directional light straight at the scene with 'non viewer dependant' specular highlighting. This looks (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
