Assuming these don't already exist (I looked for rect2.dat on Parts Tracker, but could find nothing -- speaking of which, the "complete" unofficial parts zip seems to be out of date, since it is missing some stuff): Would it be reasonable to create (...)

| | Rect primitive with one edge missing?
|

Is there a primitive for a rectangle with one edge missing? I can't seem to find one, and I think it would be useful. It certainly would for a part that I am currently working on -- reducing three lines of code to one, 48 times. If there isn't one, (...)

Inspired by parts\s\4186a.dat, I would like to see "clusters" of studs, say 6 x 6 and 8 x 8. That would make a lot of part files *much* smaller. Maybe we could call them Stud36.dat and Stud64.dat? /Tore (22 years ago, 18-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
