&lt;p&gt;I might make a pen table to plot the cell matrix using a big arrow line style to see which lines are backwards facing.

&lt;p&gt;BUT-as you have found.&amp;nbsp; It can become very frustrating to someone like yourself to debug a problem when inconsistencies in drafting practice were allowed to creep in.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, you could have the bottom cell line facing east and the top cell facing west and it might still work.&amp;nbsp; But proving so is complicated by the inconsistent drafting effort.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other error to watch for (which is even more insidious) is that the direction of the line matters.&amp;nbsp; So, the line may look OK, but is actually drawn backwards causing things to be 180 degrees out of whack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
