Google translate does a pretty fair job, actually, enough to suss out most of
what is being said... Manfred's section of notes in the part authoring
"tutorial" http://www.ldraw.org/Article116.html is also helpful
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fjc-tchang.philohome.com%2Fmanuel%2Fprim_def.htm&act=url
I wasn't aware that there was a sliced cylinder primitive already (but I guess
in hindsight, how could there not be one?) ... with that (two of them, one for
the inside of the tube, and one for the outside), and a proper transformation of
the ring to stretch it and rotate it for the end, I've got what I need, I
think...
Thanks!
