(...) I don't mind that because I preprocess the files anyway and anyone who wants to get a good speed increase should do the same. But it's not a good idea to turn on/off BFC several times and in some cases, it's nicer to have the faces reversed. (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm assuming that you're calling "BFC-ready" primitives that have all faces in the same direction. Primitives are not closed volumes so you'll always be able to see the backfaces. (...) I agree technically it doesn't make much difference, I (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Would it help to get primitive files cleaned up, and then make use of what is known of the faces in the primitive to decide the orientation of faces in the part? What I mean is, if you follow a ray from the center of a face, and the (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
