I wish there were color 16 versions of the ?-?edge.dat primitives.

(...) 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 (22 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 (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
