Hi, While encoding the Arm piece for the Minifig Skeleton, I encountered something for which I needed a primitive (and I couldn't find anything like it among the existing primitives). At the "wrist" of the Skeleton Arm, there are four _rounded_corners_ (as I call them). Since there wasn't an already-existing primitive to handle this (at least, not one that I was able to identify as such), I made one. It's not _completely_ finished, though... It probably needs some type-"5" lines. (If anyone out there in LCAD-land whose LCAD kung fu is better than my LCAD kung fu -- and I'll be the first to admit that there are many such persons!! -- and wants to fix this for me, please be my guest! ;-) Thanks, Franklin 0 Rounded Corner (needs work: type-"5" lines) 0 Unofficial Primitive 0 Author: Franklin W.

		Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
OK, I've finished this primitive, but before I re-submit it, I need to know a couple of things... Just what do I call the DAT file? On my PC's hard drive, I'm calling it "RND-CRNR.DAT". Is that food enough? Also, what extra steps (if any) do I need (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dev)

		Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
[snipped Franklin's post] Some comments/questions: What is the definition of this part? Is it a section of a sphere? What are the angles and radii of the curved edges? Could you reverse the shape, so it is convex? This would make it easier to fit (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
