Layers in patterns allowed?

Hello!

I am jsut wondering if layers are allowed in creating patterns. For example
the ufo patterns.
You have there circles on ellipses on rings and so on and it would be very
hard to fill the spaces with triangles.
after doing the complicated things. It would be a lot easier if I could use
layers with 0.1 LDU distance.
I see that ML-Cad has problems to show the patterns correctly when the
layers have that small distance.
Render programs don't.

Anyone can give me advise on this?

Carsten

(...) Using this layering technique for patterns is generally discouraged as many DAT rendering programs (including the original LDraw) are unable to correctly display close parallel surfaces. For this reason we have avoided creating patterned parts (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
