(...) note: I've made toroidal bits before, using an approach similar to 2741c.dat, except I built 2741c.dat out of a 4-4cyli.dat and some 2-4cyls.dat.

I have defined a tore that does not use the tore primitive because the standard primitive where to rough for a tore of that diameter. The 48 version was to detailed for me.

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.
