Dumb Offical Part Question: Lines and Sharp Edges

[Ben Supnik]

Hi Y'all,

Sorry for a whole pile of stupid spec q's, but...

Is there a requirement for official parts that all edges of a part be 'coated' with a line or conditional line?

I read that some programs use the presence or absence of lines to determine which mesh vertices should be smoothed across triangles, but I didn't see anything in the part authoring spec about the requirement that lines be present.

Is having lines on the edges something so basic and obvious to everyone that it didn't need to be stated? :-)

Thanks!!!
Ben
