Please beware that there are genuine reasons for having lines in patterns so
long as they are hidden within polygons - so don't assume that any patterned
part with a type 2 line is in error. This technique helps to prevent the
pattern disappearing completely at low mag (in LDraw, LDLite, L3P, etc) - a
technique which John VanZwieten has popularised - see for example the "S"
pattern torso (973P14.dat). However, the line should definitely be within the
boundaries of a polygon of the same colour.
I am happy to take on the flat road/airport/space baseplates, some of which
have line borders around the markings because they use rect.dat primitives
instead of type 4 lines. I strongly believe this is incorrect. I was already
planning to work on the yellow space baseplates, as I have two other variants
of the landing pad, and the lines on the "T" plate do not line up.
