(...) This type of primitive would mostly be used in places where a cylinder appears between two other objects. One example would be the subpart at: (URL) currently uses 4-4cylc.dat where a 4-4cylo.dat (cylinder with edges open at both ends) would (...)

(...) Guess I replied way too soon. I may revise my earlier reply after giving it some more thought. A 1/4 cylinder with both ends closed would of course be better for rounded cornerns. A cylinder with both ends open could be useful when making (...) (15 years ago, 3-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) 4-4 and 2-4 cylc are released, 1-4 and 3-4cylc are already on PT. (...) I think the usefulness is quite low indeed. Philo (15 years ago, 3-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) A cylinder with one closed end (4-4cylc.dat) was issued in the latest parts update (2009-02). See (URL) . If there is a need for a 1-4cylc.dat, feel free to submit it to the Parts Tracker. However, I'm struggling to see the utility of a (...) (15 years ago, 2-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Naming is not an important issue to me. Either name would be fine for me. The one important thing for me is that it doesn't mess up with renderers and utilities that make primitive substitutions. But I don't see that there should be any risk (...)

(...) Not being a part author, I can't comment on the utility, but to me the naming is confusing. The base cylinder primitives are already open at both ends; they just don't have edges there. So to me, cyle would make more since in the filename, and (...) (15 years ago, 2-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) I think it's a bad idea to have the double-socket parts be named so similarly to the single-socket parts.

(URL) Hi all - I'm currently working on the rectangular ball joint sockets and the naming issue (which I have tried to rise up a couple of times) is to me becoming a little critical. What I'd like is to unify the titles of all seven variants: the (...) (15 years ago, 2-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
