A few years ago TLC changed the design of the small centerstuds at
the bottom of many bricks to hollow (to save material).
(See 1xN plates and bricks, but also many other parts)
For parts that exist with both the hollow and the solid centerstuds
the parts for LDraw should contain the solid centerstuds.
But what about new parts that only exists with hollow centerstuds?
Should these created with a hollow centerstud or with a solid centerstud.
For LDraw the hollow centerstuds have no different functionallity.

Since there is no difference in functionality, LDraw should stay with only solid
stud3's.  If we introduce a hollow version, that will lead to confusion.

Thanks for the quick answer. When going through some existing parts to
make these BFC certified, I came across part 2428, which seems to be
created with hollow centerstuds, but the inside is missing.
I'll change these to stud3's instead of adding the missing insides.
