That shouldn't work -- the rendering program should detect that you've mirrored the
object, and adjust accordingly. Unfortunately, I see that it does 'work' in L3Lab.
LDView is crashing my system right now, so I couldn't check it.
What you should do is flip the 2D object. Inverting both X and Y is the same as
rotating 180 degrees around the Z axis:
1 16 0 0 0 -10 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 10 4-4disc.dat
