This was much fun to develop. :) I think it looks decent, but it's really big for a primitive.

I guess this is the place for this. Here is a hi-res version of one of the ring primitives. I based it on the ones already in the p\48 subdirectory so hopefully it's OK. I use it a few times in piece 30056 that I'll try to post later today. Don Note (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Before anyone notices (I forgot to change part of the subject :) There is no new primitive in this part. I scrapped it after discussing the part with Steve Bliss. Thanks Steve, Adam (25 years ago, 3-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dev)

I renamed the primitive to box6nl.dat (since it has 6 faces). I revised the part so that now the rotational axis is aligned with the x-axis. This means that if you want to rotate the window once it has been placed in a model you will have to move it (...)

Thought experiment was very convincing. I'll redo the part so that the axis of rotation is around the x axis (I'll check the orientation of 30044 first to make sure the axis is correct). This way you'll only have to move the part in the y direction (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dev)

[followups set to lugnet.cad.dev] (...) Looks like box.dat is the only one based on a 2x2x2 cube, all the other box*.dat primitives are 2x1x2, Y[0,1].

(...) Hmm. That's not *exactly* the intended guideline. Rotatable parts should be positioned so the axis of rotation lies on one of the major axes. That way, the part can be easily rotated to any angle. (...) But the A key function is only useful if (...)

(...) 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).
