A far as I know there is not an issue doing this unless the Tri/Quad is
visible from both sides and the part is BFC certified. The perferred method
is to find the intersections and trim to fit. There are a number of
utilities to aid you in doing this, my favortie being LCalc:

The beauty of virtual brick is that any part is available in transparent

See above but since primitives are essentially subparts in most cases they
can be adjusted to to fit by using the rotation matrix. If they just won't
cooperate then inline and modify.
