A '''primitive''' is a highly re-usable component of a LEGO part modelled for LDraw.

Primitives serve several purposes:

*To speed up parts authoring by providing a library of components which can be incorporated into several parts.
*To allow rendering software to make substitutions of curved components.

Primtives can be either simple shapes to allow easy part authoring, such as boxes or curves, or more complex items, such as studs and Technic pins.
