    Problem creating .pov using LGEO parts in L3PAdd-on —Tim David
   I have always had problems with the -lgeo (Use LGEO Library). At first I put it down to incorrect installation but I recently re-installed using the all-inone installer. My installation is to D:\Program Files but other than that is pretty much (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     (...) Try the following. 1) Open L3PAO 2) On the file menu select "TOOLS -> LOCATE LGEO LIBRARY" If L3PAO does not know where the LGEO library is at it will prompt you for the path. In your case choose D:Program FilesLdrawAppsLGEO] 3) Also make sure (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
    
         Re: Problem creating .pov using LGEO parts in L3PAdd-on —Tim David
     (...) No, sorry, its not either of them, L3PAO knows the location correctly. the filename is ccb2.pov (mirroring the .mpd filename) and so it is not too long and has no spaces. I don't think its a problem with your auto-installer, I used to get the (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

     (...) Hi Tim, I have everything running on my E drive, so it is possible. :-) Here's my thought... There should be an LDRAW.INI file in your Windows directory. Make sure you have the "LgeoDirectory" entry set correctly under the "[LDRAW]" section, (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     (...) Woohoo, thanks, that worked! (the path was just set to C:\) I wonder why it wasn't set correctly? Tim (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
   
        Re: Problem creating .pov using LGEO parts in L3PAdd-on —Anders Isaksson
   (...) Maybe you have a Libray_Path wrong in POV, so it's looking for include files in the wrong place? POV: 'Tools' -> 'Edit Master POVRAY.INI', go to the end of the file, You may have any number of lines like these: Library_Path=C:\Program\POV-Ray (...)

        Re: Problem creating .pov using LGEO parts in L3PAdd-on —Tim David
   (...) Having got the .pov file created I did have to include a Library path to the LGEO.inc files folder. Once that was set I managed to get a render in 3.1 but got more errors in 3.5, something to do with version levels. I also got a strange (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

        Re: Problem creating .pov using LGEO parts in L3PAdd-on —Thomas Burger
     (...) a quick fix for that is to create a subpart for your model, with just the bar in it, then inline. that was part (bar 1 x 4) is really named something different.. when it goes thru l3p, it doesnt use the lgeo part. (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
   
        Re: Problem creating .pov using LGEO parts in L3PAdd-on —Mark Riley
   (...) the problem is that LGEO doesn't use the same origin - at least with the libraries I have installed. So, to fix it, add the following directive at lines 159 and 308 of the LGEO file lg_6187.inc: translate <0, 0, -2*LG_BRICK_WIDTH> (...) I had (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

         Re: Problem creating .pov using LGEO parts in L3PAdd-on —Martin Smith
     thanks again (...) I don't get any error messages. POV renders the scene with no problem it just doesn't pick up the LGEO colors.
