Please do definetely consider to switch to my Y suggestion.
The reasons for doing so is that
- (fortunately) ALL sweeping parts use that this way
- all currently unofficial parts on the PT use it this way (for example the electric cables http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptreviewsum...ctricplugs )
- our primitives do it this way
- LSYNTH does it this way
As any orientation and placement is equally "right" or "wrong" ("why should Y be better than X? Or Z?"),
the killing argument here is that literally ALL other parts and primitives use it this way.
Introducing a new concept here would be an unnecessary confusion, and to my opinion a Wrong Thing ™ to do.
Additionally, it should be trivial for your implementation to adjust to that principle.
ah, and yes, the preview picture already was promising!
