Having said that, "mixed mode" torus primitives (with a "tm" prefix) don't show up in the official primitives reference, and while LDView supports them, I don't remember how their filename is supposed to be formatted. I don't know if this is a case where the unofficial file tm04o2000.dat is broken, or LDView's parsing of its filename is broken. I would appreciate it if somebody pointed me to an explanation of how the filename is formatted. Also, these should be added to the official primitives reference.

I found this:

Unless I'm misreading, the unofficial file tm04o2000.dat is mis-named. I believe that LDView is behaving correctly, and the file should be named rm04o2000.dat.

The name tm04o2000.dat describes a torus with a minor radius of 0.2 LDU, not 2 LDU like this file's header comment indicates. The name rm04o2000.dat represents a torus with a minor radius of 2 LDU.
