Actually, AFAIK, the regular stud*.dat files should work fine -- they just

1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 stud.dat

over from the manufacturing process. Is it an important enough visual feature
that it should be included in the models? What do people think?

Also, what about the "DUPLO" printed inside the hollow studs? (actually, older
Duplo bricks have "LEGO" printed in the studs, with the word Duplo printed
inside the brick).
