(2022-02-02, 19:22)Travis Cobbs Wrote: If it is the case, then I would propose either an r prefix (for reversed) or an i prefix (for inverted). We could also use a t prefix (for truncated, like used on tdis), because the proposed top is truncated in a similar fashion to tdis. However, since we start from the opposite end of the existing cyls/cyls2 primitives, perhaps t would just be confusing.
Clearly yes, I mixed up things with the prefix! tcyls and tcyls2 suit me.
Quote:Similar to tdis, if parts get posted to the tracker using these new primitives, I will endeavor to support them in LDView. The conversation hashing out how they should work will need to be finalized first, and someone will need to let me know when they get added to the tracker and used in unofficial parts.
I already have a part on PT that would benefit of a 1-8tcyls2
Quote:(As an aside, I think tndis would have been a better name for the tdis primitives, but that's apparently not what got chosen.)
So I think, but the new prims were already on PT. If we all agree it's not too late to change that!
