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?

Please let me have some example where they are useful. I found during authoring
parts that, just for rounded parts, you would need lots of such truncated
primitives, but they would need to be truncated anywhere and not only the way
this new primitives would be. So I think this can result in much, much more
primitives and I think this is not useful. But I am open for discussion.
