(...) How about using: TNNXFFFF.dat Where T is T, NN is the fraction of the major circle, X is I/O for inner or outer, and FFFF is the fractional ratio of tube radius to major radius. I'm suggesting this specific format for the following reasons: 1. (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Does anyone have anything to say or add about the torus primitives? I have a few parts in process that use parts of a torus that can be finished up once we decide on a format and file name structure. Any comments are welcome. Some of the parts can (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Here's my proposed primitive for the Duplo top stud (fast-draw version). Note that it is 4 units tall, while a Duplo stud is 11 units tall. So the stud needs to be scaled on its Y by 2.75. This primitive is particularly brainless- the stud4.dat has (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
