While I was reviewing this part;
"Minifig Head with Standard Grin Pattern"
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/3626bp01.dat

I came across this note;
"The (sub)part is still missing most of the horizontal conditional edges. Could
torus primitives be used?"

My answer would be, "sure why not..." Well, after a bit of thinking, why not,
ALL the patterned head parts would then need to be updated to the shape of the
torus(4 surfaces instead of 2).

If we were to undertake that challenge, this is the torii code we would use;


The following is for the patterned pieces, providing there is no pattern on the
torii surfaces.

The following for sub-part(s);

1 16 0 4 0 -8 0 0 0 -6.4 0 0 0 8 t04o6250.dat

Anyone up for a reply?

(...) I count about 49 heads. That's based on an out-of-date directory on my hard drive, there may be a few more by now. That's a lot of parts to update all in one go. We've done it before, or at least nearly; we redesigned the neck-mark on minifig (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
