InWorldz Viewer - Waiting patiently for next version

I am so looking forward for the next official InWorldz viewer!

I have been using Imprudence for a very long time, and I'm still very happy with it. But a few months ago when I tried the IW-viewer, it made me discover that the railing of a go-kart track I had made using Imprudence, was a total mess.



At that time I didn't try to find out why. I just hoped that it would correct itself soonish, and went back to Imprudence where I was shown what I wanted to see. A couple of weeks ago, I tried the IW-viewer again (version 1.2.7.1), and it was still like before. When I investigated, I found that the IW-viewer isn't able to show a torus with hole size less than 0.05. I had used quite a few of them when building my track.

I decided to make a Mantis, but found that there already was a recent report about it: http://inworldz.com/mantis/view.php?id=1006  (need to log in to read)

Therefore I added a note with my observations, and shortly after, which is about a month ago, the Mantis-report was closed with a "resolved".

Yay! :)

Every day for the last month, I have waited for a new version with the fix. I might still use Imprudence as my main viewer, but at least then I know that it doesn't look messed up for everyone else who aren't using Imprudence.

Yesterday I suddenly got the idea that I should check out other builds I had made, and quite correctly, I have obviously fallen in love with using toruses with hole size less than 0.05. Quite a lot looked terribly messed up. Another example is shown under.
