I don't like having this list (and having to keeping it up-to-date),
but it seems that many part authors are lazy or ignorant and write
lines like "1 16  x y z  10 0 0  0 0 0  0 0 10 4-4disc.dat"


I doubt it's laziness, since a default insertion has a 1 in the yy column.
There was talk in the primitives group about using the discs and rings for
cones.  Since we would have to go through and "fix" any parts which put a 1
in the yy column, I know I at least started using 0's for a while--until we
decided to add cone primitives.

Would it by possible for L3P to replace the 0 with 0.000000001.  In the cone
case being used as a ring, it would turn out just a very slightly sloping
cone.  For rings, etc. it wouldn't make any difference.

(...) I agree. (...) It's not that simple. Together with the POV substitution string I also have other data like the BoundingBox of the primitive, which is used e.g. in the automatic camera positioning. I think it is troublesome to have this kind of (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)
