(...) You're right about that, but if you look at the primitives not all are based on a 2x2x2 cube, some are based on a 2x1x2 cube, or a 1x1x2 cube(maybe).

(...) I realize that primitives which are sized to 1LDU are easier to use, but a set of primitives which don't all use the same sizing are *harder* to use overall, because the author has to remember which sizing to use for which primitives.

Never seen the part in question, but it looks ok. The new primitive seems ok, too. Very unusual that it starts from the center and goes from -0.5 to 0.5 in all directions. I don't know if I like it, but I can surely live with it. I like the name. nl (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dev)
