Those don't look like the same piece.

There's a problem with this.  In LDraw-world, "Ring X" is shorthand for "a
ring with inner radius = X and outer radius = (X+1)".  Your ring has IR=1/3
and OR=1, right?  I don't think there's any way a ring can be constructed so
that 3*IR = OR *and* IR+1 = OR.  But, your ring *can* be constructed from
two other ring p-files:

  I didn't know this. Thanks for explain!


1 16 0 0 0 0.16667 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0.16667 ring2.dat
1 16 0 0 0 0.33333 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0.33333 ring2.dat

Which is my recommended way to construct the ring on the part you noted.

  I used the ring1 to construct the ring:
1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 ring1.dat
1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 ring2.dat

  because if I scale down the ring2.dat, the thickness of the border will be
1/2, and adding it with the normal ring2.dat will result a ring with a 1.5
border.

thanks again,

zanette.
