| (...) 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 (...)

| (...) A few examples where I would use the 48\1-8tdisc (to use Travis naming suggestion): 58135s01 (rounded sides), 464s01, 54096, 61068 For the 48\1-8tndis (less useful I agree), an example would be 3455. In many case you can stretch a bit the (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) I think I can follow your thoughts. Have you tried that (48/1-8tdisc) already in some items with different curvatures? If yes and you have found out that this can also be used without dramatically mathematics (I prefer to use triangles so I (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Mathematics to use 1-8tdisk is easy, divide the width by 0.707 and height by 0.293 (1-(sqrt(2)/2) to get size of the tdisk. Move the center accordingly. Yes I have used that trick several times, using regular disc/ndis primitives, inlining (...) (17 years ago, 27-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad)
