Where are you thinking of saving the clipped data? Back into apt.dat (heaven forbid!) or straight to a scenery format? If we had to store the clipped data to apt.dat file the file will become massive and the editor tools would have to be very complex to handle the data. In essense TaxiDraw would become a 3D modeler for airports. Saving overlapping layouts is going to be a lot cleaner. I'd rather see the clipping done at scenery build time or simulator run time much like the way it's handled at the moment. If you're worried about layers becoming lost under others in the editor tools it wouldn't be hard to flag them for removal. Just check if any layer is totally covered by others and notify the user of the problem.
