I wish there were color 16 versions of the ?-?edge.dat primitives. These are the ones I would like to see: 1-16circ.dat 1-8circ.dat 3-8circ.dat 1-4circ.dat 2-4circ.dat 3-4circ.dat 4-4circ.dat Because: 1. Filling in curved support lines in patterned (...)

Hi Orion and Franklin, (...) Be sure I carefully consider opposition. I would not submit these primitives against general consent. I have made empirical measurements. I have found about 2 percent speed increase when model has many studs (yellow (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) And for this very reason, I (repeatedly) voted to "Hold" such primitives on the Tracker when they were uploaded, and will do so again (if necessary)...

(...) Most programs that use DAT files as the sources file for a rendered image break all the quads into triangles anyway. Technically, this change would slow down the conversion process (though you would need a *lot* of studs) -Orion (24 years ago, 14-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) The motivation is that 4-4disc is used by "stud" primitive. So I expect a small speed improvement (still to be demonstrated). Damien (24 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) I like the 16 triangles better. It makes it easier to split the primitive into sections if I need to. (24 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) So what's the stance on old vs. new naming convention for the ring primitives? (I realize there has already been some discussion on this, re: (URL) , most likely other places too) Are we to support the legacy ringX.dat for the full rings that (...)

I missed it. QUAD2DAT still uses the old convention. Steve I already submitted the part to the tracker. Do you want me to resubmit an updated version of the part with the corrected reference to ring1.dat? Or do you have to replace it for me? You (...)
