Good point. As far as I know seams are modelled in L3P generated Pov files
by shrinking the the size of bricks by a small value. Theoretically, even
regular bricks float related to each other, but since usually we look at
models from a certain distance and the seams are so small, we don't feel
this floating effect.
The question now is that
1. in the case stickers the automatic shrinking of the element will not eat
up completely the 1 LDU thickness of the sticker part;
2. the floating stickers will not cause artifacts (e.g. slanted shadow) that
will be noticeable viewed even from greater distances.
OK, we will see.
