Great! :)

I replied to your posting of the ring file.

Good question. :)

Since it is a stud, I'd say you should post stud9.dat as a primitive.  But
replace ring2a.dat with the two-line construction I posted in my earlier
message.

Also, if you want to submit a stud-primitive, you'll need to create a
similar "fast-draw" stu29.dat file.  stu29.dat should only have 8 segments.
Compare stud.dat to stu2.dat to see how "fast-draw" studs compare to regular
stud files.
