Actually, it didn't look so good in L3Lab -- because L3Lab balked at using
color 24.
A totally different approach would be to construct a subfile, which would
contain one segment of ribbing. Then use the subfile to build the ribbed
section of the part. Include some 4-4edge.dat files for where the ribs
intersect each other.
You can build the subfile pretty easily by using LDAO's Lathe tool. figure
out the dimensions for the profile/cross-section of one rib, model that
with a 2-4edge.dat primitive file, and put that code in the Lathe.
If you don't want to mess with the Lathe, but can get the diameters for me,
I can whip up the subfile.

When I ran it through LDAO's inliner (see below), it changed all the type-5 lines to type 4. I just now changed the pseudo-4's back into real (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
