Two questions (if these have already been discussed, just direct me to the
appropriate LUGNET post):

1.) I've noticed the new BFC complient primitives on the Parts Tracker.  How
are we going to resolve the fact that the cylindar primitve can be used as
both outside and inside surfaces.  The only way I see is to have 2 diffent
primitives, one for outside applications and one for inside uses.

2.) How come there are no x-16 cylindar primitives.  If there is no
particular reason, I think maybe I'll whip them up real quick when I have
some time.

(...) There's no 1-16cyli.dat primitive because it hasn't been needed/asked for. The general approach is to not introduce primitives until they're needed. Steve (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
