Exactly! You are only the third to see the major flaw, most people read this as a diamond but don't know how one is cut to begin with. It's a pretty major flaw, and I knew it soon after, but then the project took on a life of its own. And lucky for me, Tolkowsky lists a section of incorrect diamond geometries in his manual, so I am chalking this up to a diamond that falls in that section. ha ha, I may come back again and try another one, but there's too many other projects on my list at the moment. Thanks for the link, I haven't checked this out until now. It's a great resource for the future.
Thanks again,
