So, in LDCad, the intened way to view patterns from both sides of a transparent part is to disable "Use BFC info if available"? That of course affects not only the transparent part, but all other parts in the model (though I'm not sure what effect this would have on rendering non-transparent parts, other than affecting system performance).
Or should we enable "Two sided transparency"? Again, that affects the entire transparent part, not just the pattern geometries—and i a slightly different way than disabling BFC. I suppose that's probably the point, although I visually prefer the rendering when neither of these options is used (except for being unable to see the reverse sides of patterns).
The 'noclip => all dual sides' rule is a bit of easy way out solution I chose long before I took a second look at the transparency problems.
That's why I added the "Two sided transparency" option later on.
LDCad 2's render engine will take noclip more serious
