Hi Orion and Franklin,

In lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, Franklin W. Cain writes:
Most programs that use DAT files as the sources file for a rendered image
break all the quads into triangles anyway.  Technically, this change would
slow down the conversion process (though you would need a *lot* of studs)

And for this very reason, I (repeatedly) voted to "Hold" such primitives on the
Tracker when they were uploaded, and will do so again (if necessary)...

Be sure I carefully consider opposition.
I would not submit these primitives against general consent.
I have made empirical measurements.
I have found about 2 percent speed increase when model has many studs
(yellow castle). I do not consider 2 percent as significant enough to
deserve further debate. Also it seems the idea is not new and already abandoned.

(Sorry, but I'm currently in the second day of a sinus migraine, and aspirin
hasn't been helping...)

Restore good form quickly Franklin,
