My question is whether I should bother designing the stud like other studs

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
a huge hole in the Primo parts, right?

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. :)

In either case, I'm planning on doing a POV-Ray stud as well.  The parts are
actually easier to do in POV-Ray than they are in LDraw anyway.  Would we
need special support in L3P for this to work with either of the approaches
mentioned above?

No, it shouldn't need any special support.

(...) Yes, the stud is hollow. The studline substitution would leave a hole 56 (or at least 48) LDU across... big enough to fit a microfig-scale capital ship. -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

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 (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
