Matching vertices is only really appropriate if the subface has
transparency (otherwise why have a subface!). I have made some of the
problem subfaces "as coplanar" with their parent as MultiGen will
allow. Still no joy :(
On a slight aside, can I safely call pfdConverterMode inside the flt
loader callback. Perhaps I can get the best solution by using a
MultiGen attribute (or comment) to allow me to set the pfLayerMode I
want to use on a per subface basis (well on a per object basis as that
is the lowest level bead the callback is executed for).
Regards,
Mark.
