 | | Seams like a problem —Dave Schuler
|
| | | Lars Hassing in another thread recently pointed out that subparts contained within the PARTS directory will appear with seams during rendering. Is there any way to prevent this? More specifically, in which directory should one place subparts if (...) (24 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | I'm not sure what L3P/L3Lab do, but in LDView I require the part's base filename to not end with a letter (as well as being in the parts directory) in order to treat it as a part for the purpose of seams. I did this because I noticed a number of (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
