That’s what I was afraid of... That is not how I handled it in the program.
So, now this should apply for any segment files, right?
1-16,1-8,3-16,1-4,7-48, etc?
If so, I will have to rethink how to calculate those points.
now... this brings us to the next area.... this also applies to cones,
right? IIRC, I use the same procedure for conditional lines for both
cylinders and cones, with minor changes.

I think ideally this would be used on all segmented primitives that are
circular and not flat (obviously it doesn’t apply to primitives like disks
and rings). So think that the same logic would apply to cones.

Ok, so... that could also mean torii as well... again, the primitive generator
and past spreadsheets do this the “old” way. I will have to look into that as
well.

Incidentally,
I think the 1/8 spheres were the first primitives to use this style.
|
I believe you are correct.
| |
Having said that, I think having primitives that do things the “old” way is
fine. It may not be optimal, but I don’t personally think it is all that
bad, either.
|
I agree.
Should I make this an option on the primitve generator? If so, what would I call
it in the options menu, and which would be default?
