Excellent suggestion!! I've been wrestling with MegaPOV lately, having frustration with different size submodels and the find_edges settings. I want to keep the line thickness relative to the _parts_ and not to the render resolution, but since the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.inst)

| | Outlined part edges in L3P?
|

Hi Lars, I was wondering if you had ever considered adding a feature to L3P to provide the lines at edges of bricks, so that we don't have to use MEGAPOV to do so? The advantages are that we would not have to play with MEGAPOV settings to get them (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
