Yeah... and that is my only solution so far. But it means that kobldes must
detect which end is inside or outside so that it can be sliced off. of course it
forces the use of curved walls in a way that makes one end always able to be cut
off, if a clean connection is desired. For example the situation in the image
above will never clean.

This is why I have been hesitant to implement it but it seems that is my only
option so far. Thanks for an opportunity to reinforce this.

Yeah, it seems like ages since I started this project. Always looking forward to
finishing the next set of capabilities.
