(...) You are right, but there are only three lines of code (easily created with MLCad) that would be substituted with such a new primitive. I think it is not worth. cu mikeheide (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I would use the cylinder as model, with the cap at Y=0 on top and an edge at bottom. But I somehow agree with Steve Bliss that it may be overkill if we decline capped cylinder in all angles... Philo (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
