Hi folks.  My understanding, from TaxiDraw's tutorial, was that taxiways
were placed by genapts in reverse of their order in the list for an airport,
so that if taxiway A came before taxiway B in the list, and they overlapped,
taxiway A would sit on top of taxiway B.  And for the most part, that's
exactly what I see.  But occasionally I see situations like:

In the upper left corner is TaxiDraw showing this intersection of
taxiways and aprons, in "ordering preview" mode, so one can see what
should be sitting on top of what.  In the lower right corner is what
I got out of TerraGear, which is pretty messed up in comparison.

If there's something I'm missing or doing wrong, any suggestions
on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,
