Indeed: "bad" overlaps (and in particular flase intersections that are bleeding trhough to the site of the part where they are not supposed to be visible) cause disturbingly bad render errors. But on the other hand, "good" overlaps don't generate (...) (14 years ago, 21-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Just install them. They should both work fine. I'm puzzled, though. If you honestly thought there was a high enough chance that they wouldn't work that you felt you had to ask here, why in the world did you get a 64-bit version of Windows? As (...) (14 years ago, 21-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I doubt that it is anything to do with file size, but more with the time needed to create a "perfect" part. With a very small number of active authors, there should be a compromise between quantity of parts being created and the quality of (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'm not a part author, but from a rendering engine author's point of view. Those kind of overlaps can cause very ugly artifacts during rendering, so imho saving a couple of bytes (on harddrives containing 1.000.000.000.000 bytes these days!) (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad)

As I've recently started creating parts I've been taking a closer look at how other parts have been made. I've noticed that sometimes there are overlaps that keep the file smaller. My question is: what is more important; having 'correct' parts or (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad)
