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)

Has anyone modeled a bit of flex tubing that has beveled ends? I think I know what I need to do to model it but actually doing it may be beyond my patience, (but maybe I'm using the wrong tool, working with quads in MLCad is a bit hard) Thanks. (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
