But LDraw novices won't be able to offset something by 0.1 LDU. I was using
LEdit at least 6 months before I learned you could hit "x" and any number to
offset on the X-axis.
And stickers only 0.1 away from the brick will most likely look terrible in
LDraw/LDLite. Yes, it would look good in POV, though.
