Hello people, this is my first post. A few weeks ago I mailed with Travis Cobbs and Lars Hassing about an algorithm I constructed to make objects look smoother. This can be done by using per vertex normals and smooth shading. The normals can be (...) (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Steve, I see these as two separate issues: 1. The new version of the n-4disc files. 2. New versions of previously-existing primitives being considered "subfiles". Issue #1 is a current example illustrating issue #2. (Previously, the "BFC" primitives (...) (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Franklin: Quit complaining and work on getting the unofficial primitives resolved! Then they won't affect other files on the tracker. Slapping a "hold" on them doesn't *really* resolve anything. Let's try it this way: Mark has made some changes to (...) (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
