(not tried another DAT tool yet), but when I use L3PAO and L3P to create a
POV file the gap is really noticeable. I'm beginning to think it may be to
do with the number of decimal places in my polygon coords causing a problem
with L3P. How many places should I be using? 4? 5? Anyone know of a problem
with L3P and 5 or more decimal places in coords?

To demonstrate the problem I have I've uploaded some pictures to BrickShelf at (URL) shows the part in MLCad and there are no gaps visible. problem_mlcad2.jpg shows the face and subpart meeting at high zoom, again no gap. problem_pov1.jpg shows a (...) (24 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
