Hallo !

I think 2D is enough: when you apply the sticker, just offset it by

That's an argument!

Maybe that this "How to work with stickers" could be served in an FAQ
and maybe in the LDraw Doc.

I will start, doing them in 2D, if that's not what it should be, then I
will convert them to 3D with 2LD thickness. Simply let's take a look,
how it show's up in the different programs.

And stickers should be modeled using linetype 3 and 4 only. /Lars

Sure, lines will not scale with the pattern.

Gruss,
