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 like this. If you'll excuse the pun, its also been one of the
sticking points with stickers.
But yes, it does make it tough !
