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)

(...) You mean you've managed to add the type 5 lines ? [snip] (...) To me, it's a special kind of sphere, so what fo you all think of 1-8sph-c.dat (standing for 1/8 of a sphere, cut of to fit in a corner) Greatings, M. Moolhuysen. (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) There's a primitives group who decides if the primitive should be accepted or not (it's been a while since we last discussed anything so I don't know if it's still active). I don't have the list of members in this computer so I think the best (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yah, that would be the thing to do: send it to partsref@home.com. (...) I'm planning on using it in the skeleton leg, and maybe retro-fitting it into the minifig torso.[1] (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Good suggestion. Except without the second dash, please. Could you make the title be: 1/8 Sphere Cut Off And add some comment lines, something like: 0 This figure is a sphere (radius 2^.5) intersected with a 0 standard-sized LDraw box (see (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes, thanks to your message with explanatory image. :-) Please consider giving that to whomever is in charge of maintaining the L-CAD FAQ at ldraw.org. (...) Using Steve's sugggestion as well, I'll call it "1-8sphc.dat". I've also inserted (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Ooo, ick. I'll look into that. There's plenty of code in LDAO that does substitutions like tabs to blanks and CRs to CRLFs, but I don't remember doing anything with commas. And I usually pass code around in text buffers, not using the inherent (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It took me a while, but I finally realized why I'm so hesitant to re-orient this file... It's (part of) a sphere, and _all_ of the sphere (and disc/non-disc/edge) files are oriented such that the "centerpoint" (i.e., focus) of the (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Huh? The way you've got the file now, the sphere's centerpoint is at <1,1,1>. (...) The current orientation of the file has the 'bulge' going toward the origin, not away from it. So I'd say it's bulging inward. (...) You've got that whole (...) (24 years ago, 18-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
