Hello,
First of all: me a beginner, so be gentle with me :)
Now: Only recently I discovered the possibility to render files,
created with MLCad, with L3PAO. Also, I'm now using the LGEO
library to make even better renderings. Examples in:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=27447
But the 'antenna with side spokes', 3144.dat, is about twice
as long when using the LGEO version. Latest update of the LGEO
library is 2 years old, so I assume no further energy will be
put into it.
Question: how can I, in POVray, prevent this particular part
being taken from the LGEO library and use the 'normal' LDRAW
dat file? I did try myself to delete some lines in my POV file,
but no result...
tia,
Jan Folkersma

Nice old sets, I have them too :-)

Lutz Uhlmann, the LGEO author, hasn't made any update for more than 3 years,
but have a collection of 12 parts, that I have corrected.
I plan to publish the parts after the next L3P update.

Currently the only way is to hack the binary file l2p_elmt.tab,
but I think it's better to fix the bad LGEO parts:
In lg_3144.inc change all occurrences of 25 to 12.5 and 0.12 to 0.08
Please report (perhaps in cad.ray) if you find more erroneous parts.
