This was already post in the building forum here but it never recieved any kind of Linden response and I want to know if the Linden's are considering it. Currently precision in cuts and advanced cuts in SL are out of whack. It seems some prims support cuts to the third decimal place, while others do not and as far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which can and cannot Also there is a problem with advanced cutting tubes and torii just normally, as they do not cut equally on both sides. This is something that wouldnt be a problem if we had 3 decimal place adv cutting precision, since one side appears to be .001 or .002 off. It may not sound like much but this is the difference between something seemless and something with a big glaring seem in it. Anyway, if at all possible, builders could really use the extra precision, especially builders working with smaller objects

From: Archanox Underthorn It seems some prims support cuts to the third decimal place, while others do not and as far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which can and cannot I'm still not sure how much of this is specific to 1.7. I would guess that in general the advanced cut has less available precision than the standard cut (I know this is the case for tubes and tori, and hasn't changed as far as I can see from 1.6). You might also be seeing issues with cuts along axes perpendicular to squares start at a corner of the square rather than the middle of an edge. This screws up something I was trying to do because the advanced cut precision isn't enough to get a cut to be an eighth of a full rotation. If there are other reproducible weirdnesses I'd like to know about them.

I have a pic of it posted on the other thread, a tube adv. cut so the edge should be at the same position on both sides of the prim, but on one side its off by a small margin, which makes trying to line prims up with it seemlessly a nitemare, if not impossible
