In addition to the unit capped cylinder I suggested here
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?n=6310 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).
This would help building many rounded shapes more and more common in LEGO parts.
They would mostly be useful in 48 version to have enough smoothness.
What do you think? how should we name these primitives?

| (...) There are already circle chord and tangent primitives on the parts tracker. You would just need to add a couple of triangles to get the ones you're proposing. See: (2 URLs) (16 years ago, 30-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
