Much as I’d like to agree on this, I don’t think the fact that nobody posted back then disagreeing with my statement really counts as consensus. I pointed out the problem, but didn’t ask for opinions on whether parts should be modeled that way.

Also, it’s kind of obvious that you and I would be biased on this issue. When people complain that LDView or ldglite aren’t working right, all we can do right now is say, “Too bad. There’s nothing I can do to fix it.” If there were an official policy saying that T-junctions are bad, we could say, “The part needs to be updated.”


   Actually this is such an old issue, I could swear there was an ASCII art illustration of the problem. But I can’t seem to find that anywhere now.

That wouldn’t surprise me. Funny how things change.
