I've got a part in the tracker that has a certify vote and a hold vote. The hold vote says that the part has 2 overlapping triangles. I need to get in touch with the reviewer to find out what triangles overlap - I've run the part through LDView and (...) (23 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

OK, so I have exhumed my copy of Track Designer, and find that I don't seem to have the latest parts library. Do I download the latest Ldraw library and expand it into my TD directory?

Since there was never any response from reviewers who affirmed that they would help review these files if I submitted them, I'll hold off on this project for now.

Also, I believe, that no matter whether you use Back Face Culling or not, Having the vertices wound correctly in the DAT files is still a good thing.
