Hello,

I have a question about using stickers on LDraw models and rendering these in
PovRay (and other renderers). Stickers are 0.25 LDU thick, with the rear
(bottom) at y=0 and the front (top) at y=-0.25. When using a sticker it is lined
up with the rear attached to the bricks. The front is then 0.25 LDU away from
the brick surface.

When rendering with the default seam width of 0.5 the sticker disappears
(because the width of only 0.25 LDU). When I set the seam width to something
smaller, like 0.2, the sticker appears, but the seams are small or hardly
visible. Isn't it possible to somehow have the stickers not reduced in size when
applying seam widths? Maybe a new metacommand?

Lars should probably update L3P to not apply seams to objects that have any
dimension less than or equal to the seam width.  I added that feature to LDView
at some point for just such a problem.

I don't think a metacommand is appropriate when the problem can be solved
automatically, and a meta-command would require an L3P update just like the
automatic solution.
