Look at an inverted slope brick file (like, ummm,
<http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3660>) to see how the problem
is solved using the p-files stud2a.dat and 2-4cyls.dat. stud2a.dat is the
same as stud2.dat, except there are no edgelines around the base of the
stud. 2-4cyls.dat is a 'sloped cylinder', used to model the lower part of
the extended stud.
