Select Case has been using the current "," for or syntax since 5.5
days. The fact that it still doesn't accept complex equations is sad
but, sadder still, is the fact that it doesn't object to these
statements sometimes. It's not just bad that it doesn't show a
compile error but that it merrily goes on executing code at runtime.
It will merely pass over the case line even if one of the "or"
quantities is a match.
I signed on.

Something was seriously wrong then. A sphere created from 3DMF is
exactly the same as one created with declares. Were you only
approximating a sphere with a trimesh, or some such?

Ah, sounds like that's what you were doing. Try using the 3DMF for a
sphere or cylinder or cone instead. You should find examples in the
"3D Graphics:3DMF Examples" folder among the sample projects. The 3DMF
code for these primitives is very short and easy to manipulate, and
will produce the same results as the declares.
Best,
