In playing with making a part (3648) BFC certified I have ran into a

This line transforms the primitive such that the front face is inside the
part (I'm using L3Lab with mytest6 option turned on to check BFC).  Rather
than use the INVERTNEXT meta-command, since the primitive is in a single
plane (and just to test my knowledge of how the transformation matrices
work), I decided to try flipping it over:

1 16 10 10 2 0 0 8 -8 1 0 0 0 0 2-4ndis.dat

Unfortunately, this causes L3Lab to turn the primitive blue (indicating BFC
not working at all).  I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I am not
sure what (although the fact that the last triad is all zeros strikes me as
a little suspicious).  Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

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.

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)
