The following macro is used to build the ship blueprints: FACE normal_x, normal_y, normal_z, visibility See the deep dive on "Ship blueprints" for details of how faces are stored in the ship blueprints, and the deep dive on "Drawing ships" for information on how faces are used to draw 3D wireframe ships.
Arguments: normal_x The face normal's x-coordinate normal_y The face normal's y-coordinate normal_z The face normal's z-coordinate visibility The visibility distance, beyond which the edge is always shown
