I've seen many a construction get bitten by the fact that a stud is ever so
slightly taller than 1/2 plate (and it's the stud itself, not the logo - my
simple test for height differences is to match two pieces and then run my
fingernail across, if it gets caught, there's a height difference).
Does LDraw correctly model the height of the stud? Of course you wouldn't
necessarily notice the error even then.
