Case in point: https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.c...973p08.dat
- For stickers printed on a transparent medium, the type 1,3, or 4 lines that comprise the pattern shall be preceded by a 0 BFC NOCLIP statement and ended by a 0 BFC CLIP statement
- The pattern should be oriented such that the top of the pattern aligns with the +Z axis. Exceptions to this rule may be made on a case by case based.
I initially thought that these transparent areas belonged to the pattern so should be placed in NOCLIP section, but this would cause inconsistencies with parts only partially patternable where most geometry is in a BFCed subpart, including areas next to patternable areas. So I now think that transparent surfaces should NOT be in NOCLIP section.
