Good point and I would say "thanks" for resurrecting that. As a new reviewer
and a non technical one at that my concern is more that I would
inadvertantly let something through that was not up to the standards that
others expect, because I don't exactly completely know what to review for.
But your post gives a better perspective I think. Thanks for sharing.
Although Steve's suggestion (that circle primitives might be a good
approach) is a good one I don't think I'm going to ask for that at this
time. Who am I to judge that?
I am off to remove the hold from that part and I won't even be replacing it
with a needs work. It's plenty fine, looks great in renders.
