Niels,

While I wouldn't consider this grounds for "hold"-ing the pattern,
other reviewers might (and have done so...).  So, I would discourage this.

Instead, try to find the "best" (or easiest) mid-point(s) to use,
and prevent the overlaps.

Hope this helps! ;-)

I'll add my 2 cents as the author of LDView.  This won't usually cause any
visual problems, but it can.  If you enable specular in LDView, it's
possible for the shininess to be different on the two, resulting in noise
where they overlap.  It's not all that likely to be very visible, but it
could happen.

In addition, although I don't think this effects any patterns, if there is
ever overlap on a part that is transparent, the overlapped part might get
drawn twice, and be visible.

Hi (...) I only used overlap for an some letters, like "X", in a pattern or the red cross. For all the surrounding polygons I don't use overlap. Another effect when not using overlaps is that you can see a small gap between two or more adjescent (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad)
