Unfortunately, I don't recall the exact settings that prompted the errors. The best bet is probably to create a pipe primitive in MGED and use the faceplate GUI to modify it: mged pipe.g on the MGED command line: make pipe.s pipe in the MGED menu, there are two items - Faceplate and Faceplate GUI. Enable both of them. then, put the pipe primitive into edit mode: sed pipe.s from there, you should be able to use the GUI and the mouse to create a variety of pipes. Feel free to ask if there are any questions - I'm not sure our pipe editing GUI is documented anywhere. You may have already have fixed the original issue I'm remembering - in any case, the pipe primitive is quite flexible so more test cases would have been needed regardless. Nice progress! I expect breakage will still be fairly straightforward to find for a while, but once it starts to get more difficult we can probably adapt a script used for tessellation testing and systematically test models.
