I made (by way of reinventing the wheel, apparently) a "platonic.inc" file
that has the solids, vertices and edges for all five of the Platonic
Solids.  If you want it, drop me an email.  If you'd rather do it yourself,
don't drop me an email.  Either way is fine with me.  :)

Good idea, but where did you get the idea that mesh had a hash-mark?  If you
have the beta than you would be better off with a  mesh2 with all the
corners.

Just a type. I never use "mesh 1" and am used to putting the hash in front
of mesh2. I'm not sure if it is necessary there either.

Mesh2 would of course be preferable, but the syntax is not as clear to a
beginner like Flaming Monarch.

I doubt it.

I believe the expression is "jaa, mata ne".  :)

Really?  What went wrong with it?  Oh, wait.  Are you using a beta?  That
glass texture is taken from 3.5b9.  If you're using something earlier, it
probably won't work.

I'm not sure what version it is but I fixed it by cancling out the glass
texture and changing the .inc file
it was just the normal name and I added a bit to the end
no biggy
still looks great
