No, I did not use macro from /scenes/advanced/cats/coolcat.inc.
It is pure csg, and we can not get 100% smothness with csg like this - we
have at join line continuous surface, continuous normal vector but
discontinuous derivative of normal - so, we receive smooth surface if no
reflection, but unsmooth if there is reflection. I think, with csg we can
not solve this problem.
 And if you really like checkered plane, I can post one (even imagine:
Subject: checkered plane. Attached picture - checkered plane ;) It was
joke...
