  Re: Vertices not coplanar?
 
(...) When a renderer goes to render a quad in 3D, it will almost always (perhaps always) first split the quad into two triangles. As long as the quad forms a planar surface, this will result in fairly equivalent results no matter which of the two (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Vertices not coplanar?
 
(...) If I remember my 3D theory correctly, these quads can mess up the normals associated with them. Also, noncoplaner quads cause small gaps in the part since they are, in essence, bent rectangles. Usually these gaps are too small to see, even (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) <SNIP> (...) Odd. Parts that I originally submitted and someone resubmitted later show up on my list. Also, parts where I was not the originator, but resubmitted, and then somebody else resubmitted later, also show up (multiple editors). (...) (...)
