 | | LPub rendering wrong camera angle for instructions
|
|
I'm using LPub 2.2.0.0 Why does LPub generate a render with the correct camera angle when I do a "Complete Assembly" but not when I generate "Instruction Images". In this case the camera angle is supposed to be globe, lattitude: 30, longitude: 45, (...) (19 years ago, 9-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

Now it prints a weird error message. Also, the internal default (...) (19 years ago, 9-May-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

Hello, it's been almost two months since anything happened on www.ldraw.org. No news, no library updates, no SOTM/MOTM. Is the Steering Committee busy with far more important things like going commercial or selling out to TLC? What is going on? (19 years ago, 8-May-05, to lugnet.cad)
