Hello,

I have some questions about using primitives:
http://home.hetnet.nl/~niels-karsdorp/ldraw/question.htm

How about overlapping of surfaces (triangles, quads, primitives)?
Especially when triangles/quads and primitives get together it might be
useful to overlap to keep the part simple and without gaps.

How about primitives partly going inside of a part?
Only for parts that are not available in transparent
Primitives get smooth roudings when rendered, but primitives are not
available in any size or angle.
Is it allowed to let a primitive go partly inside a part? The inside will
never be seen when the part is not used transparent.
