In playing with making a part (3648) BFC certified I have ran into a problem. The following line is in the original file: 1 16 10 10 2 0 0 8 8 0 0 0 1 0 2-4ndis.dat This line transforms the primitive such that the front face is inside the part (I'm (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think this line is what you want: 1 16 10 10 2 0 0 8 -8 0 0 0 -1 0 2-4ndis.dat Let me know if I'm right. -Orion (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Yep, that did the trick. Now that you gave me the coordinates, I can see that I wanted the original y vector (0,1,0) to go to -z (0, 0, -1), instead of staying y like I had it. This rotating and scaling stuff can be kind of tricky to visualize, (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, I cheated. I hate doing the math and still don't understand the matrix tranforms well enough to look at a matrix and know what it's doing, so I use MLCad to rotate things for me. -Orion (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
