I can understand why you might feel that they are at fault, but it really isn't true. As such, you might (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Certainly when you design scientific code algorithms they should usually be created in such a way that it minimises numerical error. Of course I don't expect (...)

| | | | | | Something else to consider is that T junctions will often appear in model files themselves between two parts as shown in this simple example. 0 Model exported from LeoCAD 0 Original name: 1 4 20.00 -24.00 30.00 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00 (...)

The problem we're talking about here is artifacts showing up on the faces of individual parts where (...) (18 years ago, 7-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Then break up the offensive T-joins automagically and render it perfectly. (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

| | | | | (...) OK, I stand corrected. Technically a program can fix things a load time. However, you might be surprised at how long it takes. It's "only" O(n^2), but each iteration is slow. You have to search the current line segment against all other line (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Well actually what txt2dat does is a slightly different problem - it has a few simple closed loops and has to triangulate the complex polygons bounded by them (it uses the excellent (URL) triangle library> to do that).
