I don't know exactly what you mean by partial adjacent faces, but if
what you mean is something like this:

6------------------7

Until here the ascii ART is correct, but from here on forward it's NOT,
because the ascii art is representing a front view, and nothing tells you
that poly [1 3 4 2] is coplanar with tri [3 6 4]

In fact if you read the previous mails carefully you would have noticed
that what was meant was something like:

    1
   / \
  3   \
  |\   2
  | \ /
  6--4
   \  \
    \  \
     \  5
      \ |
       \|
        7

in 3D ascii ART

NOTE: Couldn't find a way to draw edge [4 7], sorry.


Or more simply (in LDraw-world), this:

1--2
|  |
|  4--5
| /   |
|/    |
6-----7

Leading to:

1--2
|\ |
|  4--5
| / \ |
|/   \|
6-----7

That was fun!

If they were coplanar yes it was, but you enjoyed it, that's why we all
mess arround with legos;
its' FUN. 8)
