Studs aren't 8-sided cylinders; they are 16-sided cylinders just like the
other cylinders.  The low-resolution stud files are 8-sided cylinders.
These files have the same filenames as the regular studs, but with a '2'
instead of a 'd' (i.e. stu2.dat is the low-resolution version of stud.dat).
Many renderers allow you to display these low-resolution studs intead of the
standard ones, but they should have an option to use the standard (16-sided)
ones.

I'm a moron. I had studs on low resolution and thought they were 8 sided. My mistake. -Orion (23 years ago, 16-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
