Updating the Prim Ref page

[Willy Tschager]

Are you sure this is what the cylh primitives are supposed to look like past 1/4 turn? I would not expect the stair-stepping of the top that you have in your image. Since 1-4cylh.dat is the fullest circle currently in the library, it's not possible to be sure how it should continue. Having said that, I don't understand why you show it like you do. In order for me to support this in LDView's primitive substitution, I have to know how it should look, and how you have it in the picture is not how I would expect it to look. I would expect the top to be even all the way around.

Don't ask me. I didn't cook up this thing and I never used it. To me the most important thing is to point out that it is a helix and when pairing the prims to the edges this was the most logical thing to do. If you think there should be just one prim but at the same time showing the path I'm happy to use something like this:

  Helix-Prim.png (Size: 5.27 KB / Downloads: 355)

Or a bit compressed:


  Helix-Edge2.png (Size: 8.76 KB / Downloads: 355)
  Helix-Prim2.png (Size: 8.42 KB / Downloads: 355)
