L3P cannot substitute a primitive it doesn't know,
but the above mentioned 4-4cyl12.dat will be treated like any ordinary DAT file,
and then the 4-4cyli.dat and the 4-4disc.dat will get substituted
(the edges are not used in L3P).

I'm not sure that I would even update L3P to know the 4-4cyl12.dat,
since you gain nothing from making a new POV primitive in this case.
