Whoops- I forgot to add something... this is a working copy only.  It
certainly needs work.  Mainly, it has none of the interior ribs.  I'm just
posting it because I am already using it as a standin piece right now.  If
someone else wants to do it properly, go for it (not trying to step on
anyone's toes, here!)

Here is a Duplo 2 x  4, using these recently posted primitives:
Tore Eriksson's "Studdu2.dat":
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/primitives/?n=123
my recently posted "Stud4du.dat":
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/primitives/?n=125

When I tried to load a construction using this part into MLCAD, I got a
missing file error for "stu24du.dat".  Seeing that I never referenced this
file, I assumed that it is an alternate rendering file that is implicitly
required by the inclusion of the "stud4du.dat" primitive.  I cheated and
simply copied "stud4du.dat" with that filename and got no more complaints.
But I have no idea how this actually affects anything... I assume it's not a
good thing.

I have a sample model file, using this part, here:
http://www.hafhead.com/lego/files/Duplo_Example.dat

That folder also contains all the referenced primitives.

  Updated Part: 3001_d.dat - Duplo Brick 2 x 4  [DAT]
 
2nd reply to my own post... After realizing that the inner bits aren't really all that hard (time-consuming, perhaps, but not too hard), I added the interior ribs and associated lines. I hadn't planned on doing this today, but it's been quiet around (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
