The only way to have the part and the sticker rendered correctly
is to group them, so they can be shrunk together.

Well, I just tried Niels's L-386 on top of two 2x2 tiles,
all three parts put into a subfile.
However, this construction failed to generate a seam between the two tiles.

The subfile trick only works (or works best) if the sticker is applied
to only one part which is the same size or bigger than the sticker.

The L-386 can be attached to one 2x8 brick on the tail of the helicopter,
but following the instructions the sticker is attached halfway both 2x8 bricks.

What happens in your test, when you add one tile and the sticker into a subfile
and leave the other tile as a seperate part. The sticker is thus partially
attached to the tile in the same subfile?

I have fixed L3P so it will not make the sticker disappear.
Until the release you must manually edit the POV file
replacing "1-SW/0.25" with "1" in the sticker seam matrix.

How and how much are bricks reduced due to seam width setting?
If a new sticker metacommand is introduced is it possible to
stretch the thickness of the stickers to fill in the seam between
the sticker and the bricks behind it?
