Tabs are sometimes drawn overlapping model #90

Example

I can't think of a reason anyone would want this behavior. Seems it would be desirable to always draw all tabs behind the body of the mesh.

I've also experienced this. There seems to be a couple of mods that would be useful.

  1. Make sure that the tab is truncated/placed behind the mesh body.
  2. Provide a tolerance setting (maybe by area) if the created tab is too small, and exclude it entirely if so.

As a workaround, one approach is to place additional seams so that the body unfolds in a different way, possibly even detaching the piece containing the overlapping tabs so they don't affect cutting.
