In short, yes.
The "ring-N.dat" primitive has an Inner Radius of (N)
and an Outer Radius of (N+1). Thus, the primitive "ring-3.dat"
has an Inner Radius of 3 and an Outer Radius of 4.
By doubling the X and Z rows of the rotation matrix,
you double the ring (while maintaining its circular shape).
Note that if you had doubled _just_ the X row, you would have
made this an Oval-shaped ring whose Major Axis was along the X-axis.
Hope this helps! ;-)

| Hello I need some help understanding the Ring-r.dat primitives: What does "1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 ring3.dat" mean ? Is it a ring with (radius 3 and ring-width 1)x 2, thus giving a ring with radius 6 and ring-width 2 ? Thanks Henrik (23 years ago, 26-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad)
