Most large chambers are the intersection of several conduits. When over 5 
twisting tubes intersect, you loose the apearance of tubes. On ocasions, I saw 
some bits of "floating" objects in those large chambers.
Some passages are actualy made of 2 or more almost parallel tubes, and some of 
those may be flattened.
