Well, based on comments in some other threads, I came to the conclusion that the type 5 lines I had around the edge of my original primitive where wrong. I have now updated them accordingly. This version is the same as the last other than that. The (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) OK, then someone needs to document that in the files... (For ex.: "0 2002-05-05 MK converted triangles to quads to save space") Thanks, Franklin (22 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Looks good to me. Just yesterday I added type 5 lines to your low res version and submitted them to the tracker. The diference in my version though that I moved the type 5 lines from the very edges of the sphere into the higher 2-8, 4-8, and (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) I combined the triangles into quads so they save a bit of disk space. It may not seam like much of a savings, but I try to cut out every last bit I possibly can. (22 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Well, I finally got around to adding the line type 5 lines to my high-res sphere primitive. (This thanks to the fact that Don Heyse incorporated code from LDGLite to draw them in LDView; thanks Don!) My sphere primitive isn't the same layout as the (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Steve, According to the header info for these files, they were released in the most recent update. And yet, you've uploaded new versions of them? What's up? (URL) (22 years ago, 4-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Well, it can matter, but isn't likely to in a LDraw renderer. It would matter if the program ever became fill-rate limited, but that usually won't happen, except with very simple models. --Travis Cobbs (tcobbs@REMOVE.halibut.com) (22 years ago, 4-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) I think we should move to using the 4-4ringX nomenclature. a) Copy RINGx.DAT (x=1,2,3,4,7) to 4-4RINGx and RING10.DAT to 4-4RIN10.DAT, replacing with ~moved-to files. b) Make the PT reject new submissions that use the old names? c) Automated (...)

(...) That makes me feel better, becuase I was the one who submitted those two primitves. We should probably come to some sort of FORMAL decision as to wether to use the old ringX name or move them all into 4-4ringX primitives. (22 years ago, 4-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
