(...) Hmm. There's a couple of problems with your examples. In overdraw2.png, you are having the quad intersect the circle exactly at two vertices. If the quad was a bit narrower, you would need to split the two original triangles, retaining the (...) (25 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
