Kalpit,
First of all, what I'm telling you is much more informal and probably a lot
less accurate than what Daniel can, so it's best to stick with his feedback.

No, I haven't done anything else than those you mentioned, I worked a bit
on RCC but I believe I stopped very early, or was already done or so.
What you could do (and again, Daniel might give you a better task) is to
merge/apply my Pipe implementation, there is some feedback from Daniel
which I hadn't apply, it's a good/easy thing to do. Basically, my idea was
to look at how the objects are implemented internally and to design(with
Daniel) a class that would resemble the primitive's behaviour.
I worked to fit the internal structure into the core interface smoothly.
All the operations are actually performed on the BRL-CAD internal
structures (rt_<primtive>_internal)
What I would do is integrate the work that's already been done( I think
pipe is last unmerged) and anything that Daniel mentioned. You should
figure out a primitive priority. In example, extrude depended on Sketch, it
was difficult/not useful to implement extrude before having sketch.
Regarding testing, my humble opinion is that you could test a primtive
that's support for another(sketch -> extrude), it's no point developing a
new one if the base one doesn't work.
Again, Daniel helped me throughout this project as well, so he's really the
best person to speak to, I just tried to share my experience to the best
of my capability. Good luck!
Thanks a lot for giving me a chance to interact.

Regards,
Andrei
