[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 this p-file in with other p-files. I had to make a similar file, for the skeleton's leg. But I'm not sure it was regular enough to be worth turning into a primitive. I'll check my part over, to see if I can use your file instead. And I don't have any idea what to call the file. Something with sphere. Steve

It is not part of a sphere. It can be thought of as a virtual cube which has had one corner sliced away in a curved fashion. Or to put it another way, it is the grey area in this image: "(URL) radii are "1", and its angles are 90 degrees (i.e., 1/4 (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) To be more specific: could this file be re-oriented, so that figures like (URL) can be constructed as: 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1-4disc.dat 1 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1-4disc.dat 1 4 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1-4disc.dat 1 14 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 (...)

		unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner" [DAT]
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 (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
