I apologize if this question is answered
too often here(!)... I may have asked myself
some years past... but I'm looking for a way
to prevent "phantom lines" or planes from
occurring where I do DIFFERENCE operations...

     I didn't bring an image to demonstrate,
but if anyone has seen this, and solved it,
they will know already what this effect is...
it's a thin line, or thin plane in the case
of thick object intersections... and, of
course, it shouldn't be there after the
DIFFERENCE operation... what is puzzling me
is why this occurs inside the removed object
space, rather than at the intersection itself.

     How could I remove these artifacts ?
Anybody seen this before ?

     Thanks
