Keywords Dropped from 3DMF Specification

Q: The following keywords are listed in the metafile spec:


	'tcas'		TopCapAttributeSet
	'bcas'		BottomCapAttributeSet
	'fcas'		FaceCapAttributeSet

What are they used for?

A: The following cap attributes are used: 


	'tcas'		TopCapAttributeSet
	'bcas'		BottomCapAttributeSet
	'fcas'		FaceCapAttributeSet

Cap attributes define locations. For example, if you envision this in terms of a cylinder, the top and bottom cap-attribute set is applied to the top and base surfaces of the cylinder, and the face cap-attribute set is applied to the cylindrical surface.
