I'm pretty sure I've asked this before many years ago, but my memory is not getting better.
Is it "legal" to let the polygons in a pattern overlap? Of course you can't allow this with different colors, that would look terrible. If I can use primitives in a pattern instead of handmade polygons, the result will look smoother. But if I can't do it without overlapping, is there any reason to disallow this method? I can't see that it would affect the quality in any way, but that hasn't stopped the leaders of the LDraw community from issuing standards rules before.
