    It's all clear now... —Steve Bliss
   This is one is for parts authors, I suppose... I never understood the relation between the original sloped cylinder primitives--1-4cyls.dat, 2-4cyls.dat--and the newer 1-4cyls2.dat. Both sets of files are the result of intersecting a cylinder with (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     (...) Thanks for explaining this again Steve - I am sure I tried to explain this when I created this primitive in Oct 1998. But it is really hard to get ones head around - it took me some time playing with the *cyls.dat files before I realised I (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     (...) I kind of figured you had, but I totally didn't remember that you had. (...) Hmm. I wonder if the current 2447.dat was inlined at some point, because 1-4cyls2.dat hadn't been made official yet... (...) Yep. Or, you can copy the primitives to a (...)

I sent in a correction to the part, because the bottom row of faces had an incorrect vertex that caused a sawtooth type (...) (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     Boy, talk about timing. I'm currently in the process of adding primitive substitution to LDView, and the ?-4cyls* primitives were next on my list. However, while I could definitely tell they were different (one slope appears concave; the other (...) (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Like Chris, I spent probably an hour rotating, inverting, skewing the cyls.dat primitives before coming to the conclusion that I needed something else. I (...)
