OK, I think what you miss is the 4-4cyls.dat primitive, add it to a regular 4-4cyli and you basically have what you need. For the tip, you need a slanted primitive (ring and edges). There is a tutorial (unfortunately in French) here (URL) , (...) (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I was looking at trying to use your cutting tool, actually,.. stretch a 4-4cyli.dat to a long enough length (somehow?) and then just use a big quad tilted to 45 degrees as the "blade". But I can't quite suss out how to do it, being somewhat (...) (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Or alternatively, you could use ring/cone/cyl primitives, should be lots easier than doing individual quads. ROSCO (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Wow do I feel stupid. No, I hadn't tried that, and it works perfectly. It's still not a vector image, but at least it gets me to a good raster image in one step instead of five. It is a bit counter-intuitive to me that the way to get a good (...) (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
