The version of L3Lab I have (1.2, which appears to be the current version) has a seams option in the View menu, as well as a toolbar button. My LDView program has a "Seam Width" option, inspired by L3P/L3Lab. Setting this width to 0 in LDView turns (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I forgot to mention. If you are examining a piece, it is usually much easier to determine surface characteristics (or flaws) if it is opaque. --Travis Cobbs (tcobbs@san.REMOVE.rr.com) (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
