Re: [ff3d-users] Referencing issue

Hi again.

As I told you before, the union is not necessary at this point.
If you give different references to all of yours cylinder, you just have
to define your domain that way:

domain(S,outside(<0.9,0.9,0.9>) and outside(<0,1,1>) and
outside(<0.9,1,1>), ...);
and then use each color withing the solve statement.

By the way, be carreful. At the end of this union, you specified a new
color, and I am not sure of ff3d's behaviour in that case ...
