Hi Nils Olof,

Thank you very much for pointing this out to me.  I did actually run PLOP
with the right settings and picked a screenshot from one of the flawed runs.
I updated the site and it should be OK now.

Funnily enough, the recommended support points are basically the same.

The actual RMS error comes down to 9 x 10^-7 mm, which I hope is acceptable.


Best wishes,
Andreas
