May stud2 be used for other purposes?

I need 18 copies of a hollow cylinder with a ring at the end for a particular part that I'm working on. Stud2.dat has the correct dimensions when scaled with an integer. However, the purpose of the stud2 primitive is to standardize the implementation of studs to which other parts can connect. Can I use the stud2 primitive for these hollow cylinders or is it reserved for connectivity-studs only?

You'll have to create a new subpart, stud prims are strictly reserved for studs...
