Ok,
I'm the guilty party who posted such notes on the tracker. :) I still pass a
part with these errors. Some of my earler parts have these too. L3P issues
several "warnings" many are not required to correct to get passed.
What I am watching for when I vote are mostly for obvious errors such as
part numbering, misplaced or missing sufaces.
I try to watch for part orientation, usually other reviewers watch this better.
L3p is ran using a batch file which creates an error log for the part. It is
also set to check for noncoplanar(not flat) quad surfaces >0.10. This might
be too tight, but it is what I use as a standard for the parts I model.
(Except the first few...)
I also make notes on studs not being oriented correctly, not something I
"hold" parts over, unless they are inverted or mis-used. This really only
shows up on very small rendered models with full stud detail, so it's pretty
much a non-issue. I have the logo on my studs so I can check them easily.
This info is available on my "Utilities web page", near the bottom.

Over and out... :-)
