1.00.299 (24 June 2006)
Fixed bugs in 3D shape import and layout calculation. More complex 3D shapes came out
unhinged, and layouts ended up with overlaps (this has been a problem for some time).
The solution to the overlapping layout problem required a bit of computational geometry
speculation which resulted in an interesting solution.
+ Fixed bug in 3D shape import which caused open or "scissored" polygons
+ Fixed "bug" which erased concave attribute for tabbed edges. Tabs always fold the same
way but the concave attribute of joined edges is not always obvious.
+ Fixed layout bugs which caused overlapping parts. A test for polygon collision was
missing from the brute-force layout algorithm. The test added is based on a postulate
for polygon intersection which is described at http://paper-model.com/software/polygon-intersection.php
