I just threw this together, and while doing it I came up with a quite easy way to create discs with holes, and cones. Consider two edge.dat's same orientation, same position but with different diameters. If one where to fill out the space between (...)

Perhaps that'll teach me to take a better look at the numbers... Regards John (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I've done a similar thing myself a few times to generate a cone (and similar things), and I've been thinking about making a function in LDraw-mode to make the process easier. But I failed to see how to formalize the procedure, so I suspended (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) [snipped description and part-file] Yep, this is how I usually build curved stuff - use primitives to get the correct points, inline them and move the points around as necessary. In this particular case (a full circular ring), a way to avoid (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I have made a function in LDraw-mode which does this. In your example, you would put the cursor on the first type-2 line in the first edge, set the mark (C-SPC) move down to the first type-2 line in the second curve and hit C-c C-f. Voila. The (...)
