(...) Here is a list I compiled of many parts that could make use of a cylinder that's open at both ends. There may be more. 6029A 3957 104 2569 30322 30209 3062B 33286 43888 4740 3960s01 3961s01 6942 75535 6177s01 30148 4360 4341 70501 529 6260 (...)

(...) This type of primitive would mostly be used in places where a cylinder appears between two other objects. One example would be the subpart at: (URL) currently uses 4-4cylc.dat where a 4-4cylo.dat (cylinder with edges open at both ends) would (...)

(...) Guess I replied way too soon. I may revise my earlier reply after giving it some more thought. A 1/4 cylinder with both ends closed would of course be better for rounded cornerns. A cylinder with both ends open could be useful when making (...) (14 years ago, 3-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) A cylinder with one closed end (4-4cylc.dat) was issued in the latest parts update (2009-02). See (URL) . If there is a need for a 1-4cylc.dat, feel free to submit it to the Parts Tracker.

(...) Naming is not an important issue to me. Either name would be fine for me. The one important thing for me is that it doesn't mess up with renderers and utilities that make primitive substitutions. But I don't see that there should be any risk (...)

(...) Not being a part author, I can't comment on the utility, but to me the naming is confusing. The base cylinder primitives are already open at both ends; they just don't have edges there. So to me, cyle would make more since in the filename, and (...) (14 years ago, 2-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Sorry to follow-up my own post, but I did a quick test on MLCAD. (...) I had a DUH! moment after posting the previous message. If MLCAD can use a ragged format file, of course it can use a fixed-25 format file. DOH. (...) I prepared a PARTS.LST file (...) (15 years ago, 29-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
