I've had to create a new torus primitive for the Boba Fett/Jango Fett helmet/jetpack. The radius for the center of the ring is one (of course. they all are, if you follow ldraw format). However, the ring cross section radius is ALSO one. How do I (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Maybe I'm blind (really, just ask my optometrist), but I don't see where such a 'bagel torus' would be used on the jetpack. Could you elaborate/specify a bit? I suppose we should have thought of the 1:1 torus when we worked out the (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Yes, I can. If you have taken a look at the rough mockups I posted in CAD/PARTS, you will see a reference to a subfile called "fettorus.dat". This is in fact the primitive in question (although scaled up by a factor of 8), and it is used as (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) :-/ (...) My spreadsheet gives me an error when I try to give it 1 for the major radius, however, If I give it 1.000001(or something like that) it gives me a workable file. The file name is of course t04o0000.dat (.9999 would have rounded to (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Could we go with t04x0100.dat instead? The 't' would be to keep all the torus files together. Only the 'outer' primitives would be made for these >1:1 toruses, right? (I'm having a hard time figuring out what the 'inner' parts would be good (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Forgive me if I seem a little confused, here, but should I download Paul's file(s) for use? Or create my own? And do I name it t04x0100.dat, or is this not decided yet? (A bit off-topic, but still relavant) Steve: Is my userID and password set (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
