Circular cylinder:

n-fcyli2.dat

"This suite of primitives are used to generate cylinders or part cylinders. These are provided in two forms - with conditional lines (n-fcyli) or without conditional lines (n-fcyli2). In most circumstances the "cyli" version should be used. The "cyli2" versions are for special cases, such as the rounded corners of stickers."


Magnus pointed out to me that cylinders with conditioning lines are definitely necessary for stickers with rounded inside / outside corners.

Nice trap .... for every clueless who obeys the written rules. Wink

Well, there was a change in the specs concerning condlines and edges for stickers in the past. Before this change condlines and edges were strictly forbidden. With the beginning of modelling formed stickers we decided to allow condlines for flat stickers and edges and condlines for formed stickers. But the box (or whatever shape the sticker is) will never bordered by edges.
So I think, cyli2 is more less useless nowadays and you are right that this part of the spec should deleted.
