One of the main limitations (bugs?) in L3Lab is that it assumes the main
file is BFC'able, whether it's marked that way or not.  I think that
comes from the assumption that the main file will generally be a model,
and models are generally BFC-ok -- model files don't usually have
polygon commands, so winding isn't an issue.  Unfortunately, this isn't
true for parts.  So when non-BFC parts are viewed directly in L3Lab, it
tends to cull polygons that shouldn't be culled.

The problem is I can't confirm postings with long lines while using webmail instead of the pop server I currently am unable to access.
