(...) First of all, I like the idea of a unit capped cylinder. The stud could then be changed to a reference to the new primitive. We could use x-ycylc as the filenames and call the primitive Cylinder Capped. This would be consistent with the (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

In addition to the unit capped cylinder I suggested here (URL) I'd also like to see some truncated disc and ndis primitives, like the red ones shown below (the truncated disc can also be seen as a half chrd primitive).

30035.dat uses stud.dat in a location that isn't really a stud, but is the same shape as a stud. This leads to a rendering problem if stud logos are enabled: (URL) (Notice the LEGO logo peeking out from under the pole.) Is the above considered (...)
