| | | | (...) 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 (...) (16 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) OK, so I'll make this primitive, but which way should it face? Should it face up, like the stud primitive, or should it face down, like the box primitives? --Travis (16 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| | | | | | | (...) Oh, and should the cap be at Y=0, or should the base be at Y=0? (For reference, with the stud primitive, the base is at Y=0.) --Travis (16 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| | | | | | | (...) 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 (16 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| | | | | (...) One concern about capped cylinders is that they would lead more multiples of cylinders - single-capped cylinders, double-capped cylinders, 1/4 capped cylinders, 2/4 capped cylinders, Hi-res 3/8 double-capped cylinders, etc. etc. And every (...)

| | | | | (...) I agree with you in all points. But if I see that also you are thinking that capped cylinders are useful maybe there is somebody out who can write a prog for that. I have tried something similar in the past and was not very happy with the (...) (16 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
