  Re: Overlapping polygons - how bad is it?
 
(...) IMHO it is bad if the part can exist in transparent. Alpha-transparency makes any overlapping visible. Otherwise it is harmless. If you have no other solution and the part clearly exists in transparent color(s), then "needs work" in the part (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Minifig Generator Plugin for LDDesignPad Version 1.3
