You can mention it, I knew this would be the case. I was trying for a quick
and easy part.

Think so? I'm not going to worry about it too much for now. If it does
happen, I or someone can "fix" it then.

I like using primitives as much as I can.
For more complicated parts I use some of my own "made-up" primitves that I
inline before I am done. Most of them are shorcuts that need more attention
before finializing. The most common ones are rectangles with lines on one,
two or three sides. Also another is a hole that has the edge lines,
cylinders, and ndisc parts put together.
