Part 30223 contains co-planar polygons. View it in L3Lab with random colors turned on to graphically see what I'm talking about. Is this considered ok, or should this qualify as "Needs work"? --Travis Cobbs (tcobbs@san.REMOVE.rr.com) (24 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Lars Hassing pointed that out to me this morning, and I plan to fix it. In the meantime, I would say a "needs work" tag would not be out of order. Dave! (24 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) While the setup of this part is not the best style, there are many parts already in the library with similar designs. It's kind of a middling quality thing. I'd like to see this fixed, but I don't think this deserves a "needs work" tag. Also, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) tag. Happily, the "bad vertex sequences" were easier to fix than I anticipated, and the part now seems to pass the L3P check-test. I'll resend it to you, if you'd like. Other than the correction, the part is more-or-less identical to the one (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Axel Poqué has already submited an update for this particular part. I've been giving it a "second opinion" adding a fix for the ghost lines mentioned above. In my opinion this part isn't an example of overlapping faces. What happened in the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) True, this case isn't an example of coplanar, overlapping polygons. Good catch. But it is an example of what can happen when you take shortcuts that have no visible effect at the time. No offense meant to James--the number of parts he wrote (...) (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
