Yeah, that part (6187.DAT) has a weird origin, IMO. But, the cause of
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 a similar problem when upgrading to version 3.5 of POV-Ray. Try
modifying the lg_color.inc file by bracketing the #include of colors.inc
with #version directives:
#version 3.5
#include "colors.inc"
#version 3.0
There's probably a better solution than this, but this worked for me... :-)
HTH,

I suspected something along those lines, but I wouldn't have had any idea how to
fix it, so thanks, I wil try it tonight

I have tried this and also the fix on the ldraw page. LGEO files still don't
work any suggestions? I don't get the error message. The pov just renders the
standard method.
Thanks for the help

I don't get any error messages. POV renders the scene with no problem it just
doesn't pick up the LGEO colors. I have a file called LGEO in 3.5 directory, I
have added the changes to the lg_color.inc file and colors inc and have even
tried the adding this to the command line in the render settings command line
box
"+Lc:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.5\LGEO"
I am using LP3 addon latest version.

I think troubleshooting your problem would be easier if you sent me the POV
file.

Thanks for the link Tim!! Now lgeo finally works for me too.
Ldraw's trans green still stinks, but lgeo helped a bit...
