I have to read this better to make an opinion, later !

Now you don't like local clipping anymore ? too or tree mails before you were
in favour or am I mistaken ?
I should we make complicated spec for clipping, just because of one stupid case
the INVERT case, all other cases work well.
So why NOT just disable clipping for that specific rendering (user selectable)
and as soon as we find them all, they aren't that many, we just correct them.
Also every rendering that included a bfc reviewed/certified file would emediatly
benefit from it, and NOT after having checked all it's branches and correcting
all it's subfiles, where the reference was used.
Just think about it:
- Local clipping
- No Branch Clipping restriction
- Imediate benefits from BFCed files
- Invert cases, just disable clipping, by DAT file or PART file, programs are
easy to change to allow this, or more simply, just disable entire model
clipping until you correct the ofending reference.
P.S.
Is my drilling working or NOT ? 8)
see ya
