(...) [snipped description and part-file] Yep, this is how I usually build curved stuff - use primitives to get the correct points, inline them and move the points around as necessary. In this particular case (a full circular ring), a way to avoid (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I've done a similar thing myself a few times to generate a cone (and similar things), and I've been thinking about making a function in LDraw-mode to make the process easier. But I failed to see how to formalize the procedure, so I suspended (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) In my opinion, mock-ups and unofficial parts as just that: unofficial. People using them should know that the orientation and origin may change when (if) the parts become official. So I think it is safe to change the orientation of your part (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
