It's all in the magic of the CAD program and the designers hands.
I have seen parts that one or the other got it wrong. You get a solid part
that suddenly has a gap(s), you might call it a deleted area(s)or you get a
gap that is filled. This was back in the early 90's when it was a wet
process cured by UV light and the CAD programs were not always user
friendly.
I once got a set of augers that felt wet to the touch, totally
unusable. I even left them under UV light for several days and they were
still felt soft and sticky. For a joke I took one of the augers which were
about 16" long and bent it into a circle thoroughly expecting it to break,
it did not. I hung on to them and I could always bend them in a circle even
after several years; I bet I still could if they still exist.
I'm glad the process is much improved now.

Tim,
Thank you for explaining how the process works, I now understand the
process. It still amazes me how it can determine a few thousands of an inch
clearance on something that is behind or not visible from an outside look,
unless it's viewed by X-Ray or something like that. Amazing technology to
say the least!!
