Hi Burr,

None taken! :)

Yes - if the seam is a little more accurate along the surface it can be ok, the worst is if it is skimming kind of above and below repeatedly.

But yeah still not a bad idea to get the seam out of the way, though - when the seam gets intersected it definitely makes for more possibility to have small edge or face fragments. Actually after looking at my version, I did notice that there is one of those kinds of fragments here:



So yeah that would be better in my version too with the seam on the top so that it is out of the way and not running into other things and making small fragments.

Those kinds of small fragments tend to gum up filleting quite a bit.
