[LSC] RE: [Ldraw-content] Re: Adopting the "de-facto" BFC standard - CARRIED

[Travis Cobbs]

It may be self-serving of me to say so, but you might mention that BFC
checking can also be done in LDView.  In the Geometry tab of the LDView
preferences, enable the BFC check box, then enable the "Red back faces" and
"Green front faces" check boxes.  Then, green shows good, red shows bad, and
default color (light gray unless changed by the user) shows non-BFC'd
portions.

One good thing about LDView for BFC is that the red "leaks" should be
minimal unless edge lines are enabled in "High quality" mode (unless the
video card has poorly written drivers).  BFC checking is probably easier
with edge lines disabled.  There can still be leaks, because any time they
use a primitive in their part, they can end up with rounding that differs on
adjacent polygons.  However, polygons that really do have identical adjacent
vertices are not supposed to show any leaks in OpenGL.
