Talking about “not too far off”, should I worry about rounding off a vertice

I try to stick to whole numbers whenever possible, or tenths if I must. That
helps keep file sizes down. Keep in mind that 1 LDU is already 1/64th of an
inch, making 0.001 LDU 1/64000 of an inch! No part file needs that level of
detail.
The only exception to that is if you’re trying to match up quads with the edges
of primitives. In that case, I use the same the same vertices as the
primitive.
