I just checked this part out on my PC and I'm afraid you're right. The
grooves are only simulated with lines. Bummer! But not too difficult to
fix, hee hee. Let me know if you're interested in a 3D grooved part, and
I'll make one.
On ONE condition: Tell me what you used the "1x1x2/3 cylinder" for! To me,
it looks more like a dish, but to each his own... Anyway, I'm very curious!
