www.peeron.com calls it Case Oval.
I don't know, it seems like it's not only used in Belville sets. (

I have noticed that kind of problems too. It must be due to the current
primitives, and not flaws in my parts authoring.

One thing I did notice though is the need of using hi-res primitives. The
problem is that there are no hi-res versions of 1-4rin12 or 2-4rin12, or
1-4rin13 or 2-4rin13. Maybe they would also reduce the optional line related
problem?


Thanks for your time,

(...) 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.
