Is there any demand for this type of cylinder primitive that's open at both

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 "Cylinder with edges" in the description.

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 for that.

But I sure have missed this combination, and also a "stud 1x1 w/o logo", ie a
cylinder with one closed end, preferably the one at the y=1 end. I think 4/4 and
1/4 versions would be the ones of most use. 4/4 for many purposes, also holes,
and 1/4 for rounded corners.


So I suggest these four new primitives:
1/4 cylinder open with egdes
1/4 cylinder open with egdes and one disc
4/4 cylinder open with egdes
4/4 cylinder open with egdes and one disc

When it comes to naming and descriptions, I have no opinion.

(...) 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.
