You're right David.  The first of the attached  images uses a wider joint to
avoid the overlap and show that the joint surface is complete.  The second image
shows the effect of  a negative depth of joint - good for POV Waffles?
Both images show that the isosurface is tending to have problems at the edge of
the bricks - not surprising as there is an instantaneous change of slope there.
