(...) 4-4 and 2-4 cylc are released, 1-4 and 3-4cylc are already on PT. (...) I think the usefulness is quite low indeed. Philo (15 years ago, 3-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Hi there. I've spent the last few days upgrading to the new version of LSynth, and I've come across some things that are just wierd. Something seems to be going wrong with band-type syntheses - an example will best demonstrate: I have the (...) (15 years ago, 3-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) 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. However, I'm struggling to see the utility of a (...) (15 years ago, 2-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) 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 (...) (15 years ago, 2-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| | Re: Technic ball joint socket naming

(...) I think it's a bad idea to have the double-socket parts be named so similarly to the single-socket parts. The double-socket parts are beams with sockets on either end, whereas the single socket parts are sockets with connectors out the (...) (15 years ago, 2-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(URL) Hi all - I'm currently working on the rectangular ball joint sockets and the naming issue (which I have tried to rise up a couple of times) is to me becoming a little critical.
