(...) I don't know what to call it, maybe "Bellville Luggage"? Anyhow, I gave it a spin in a few of the CAD programs and noticed a few odd things I'd like to discuss. First, the use of half cylinders separated by quad spacers seems to produce some (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)

(...) www.peeron.com calls it Case Oval. I don't know, it seems like it's not only used in Belville sets. ( (URL) ) (...) <snip> I have noticed that kind of problems too. It must be due to the current primitives, and not flaws in my parts authoring. (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)

(...) I agree. I think the problem is that the current half cylinder primitives expect to be mated with other cylinder primitives to create a whole cylinder. Connect edge A with optional line to edge B without optional line. But connect edge A to (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)

(...) I'm not sure where to go with this one. Generally, parts like this go into Minifig Accessory. But this part isn't exactly minifig scale. Hmm. (...) I don't think so. Typical primitive files only have an optional line at one end. Check out this (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)

(...) It took me a minute to grok what you were saying. The 'test line' is inaccurate for anything except joining one half-cylinder to another. (...) We could push the cylinder polygons into one file, the final edge-line into another file, and (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)

(...) Do you have a naming convention in mind for the new un-deliminated partial cylinder files and the joiner files? How about X-Ycylu.dat for un-deliminated partial cylinders, X-Ycyla.dat for the leading optional line, and X-Ycylb.dat for a (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)

(...) I thought about it for like 2.5 seconds. Does that count? I figured it would be some X-YcylZ.dat type of thing. :) (...) X-Ycylu.dat works for me. (...)

Well, I know this discussion happened a while back, but I think I have solutions to all of the stated problems, thanks in part to an observation (...) same way as the quarter-cylinder primitive. Specifically, it is missing the final type 5 line. (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)
