visible joints Explanation: I am quite sure that abgesetzt does not mean "lowered" in this context, but the text refers to the optical appearance of the surfaces. So I agree with the previous answerer here. I do not know any precise technical term for "Schattenfugen" (maybe there is none), but visible joints might be a way out. |
