Attached is an updated RS8 version of the 87 Catalog Demo. After seeing what Geoffrey had in his RKT file, I now understand a little more of what he was doing. I also understand now why he didn't see my tube fins when viewing the file in RS7.
When I whipped up my RKT file, I took advantage of RS8 having a "Tube Fin" feature, which RS7 doesn't have. RS7 cannot recognize the script, and so it omits trying to draw the tubes. Geoffrey used a simple "inside tube" approach, which is all that RS7 offered. I can see his RKT file completely, but he cannot see mine because of the RS8-specific scripting.
