Hmm.  I don't have any Primo parts handy, so I've got to throw out a
basic question.  Isn't the inside of the Primo stud actually hollow?  If
we made a Primo stud that was subject to studline'ing, that would leave

That would be bad.

So I'd say you should just model the Primo stud as a regular primitive,
using your "simplified approach".  Call it babystud.dat or something. :)

Okay, I'm probably the only one here who really cares about Duplo parts (with the possible exception of Paul Easter). But I figure that some folks at least will appreciate having these added to the parts library. As part of modeling Duplo, I'm also (...) (25 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
