no, somebody has to find every single normal index, you can't just find some of them and guess where the rest would be from that.

i take it you've given up on ra2 normals now. ok so we have Phoib and Alon still left.

flyby if you post a list make sure you make it clear if you decided to use the incorrect axis. better yet, use the correct axis always from now on. Phoib and Alon if you see flyby's lists remember that some are rotated so everything is in the opposite place of where it should be, I think, so don't get all confused. oh boy, this was not my idea.


> If you take my old TS diagram, that orientates a voxel when it is facing South-North ( http://www.eclipsemods.com/flyby/NORMALS/TS_normals_APC_green.png ), you'd get this :

> front 106
> back 7
> left 153
> right 147
> top 232
> bottom 16
