  Re: Missing seams
 
(...) Hi David, The problem is a shortcoming in L3P. The way L3P adds seam "lines" is to shrink the pieces by a small amount. How L3P determines what to shrink (since it wouldn't be appropriate to shrink any subpart assemblies) may introduce the (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: Missing seams
 
(...) Hi David, The short answer is that there are no seams, only lines. Since a line is a one-dimensional object it is invisible in POVray. The long answer is that POVray won't show edge lines because they are not really useful and don't fit with (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Missing seams
 
Any idea why the some pieces don't show seams in POV-Ray but they do in MLCad? Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere. I did search for it, but I didn't find anything. (Newbie to all this.) For example, this is the model as seen in MLCAD. (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) the dithered section would be an example for an acceptable usage of bmp2dat (a prog I don't like because of its bumpy output). therefore I would vectorize surfboard, wave and outer ring and use bmp2dat for the sunset. w. (18 years ago, 22-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Raytracing Challenge II: Remix Disco
 
Thank You, Tim, for the challenge! I will try to master it. Even if the the first obstacle for me will be the impression of a disco, since that kind of location is still quite full of mysteries for a nerd (ok...geek) like me :-( Andreas (18 years ago, 21-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Raytracing Challenge II: Remix Disco
 
Hi all, Well, thanks to some recent encouragement from Zach Best and at the end of the first challenge I've decided to run this again with a new model.

  LDD/Factory Question
 
I designed a model in LDD 1.6 and hit the "Check Price" button. When I got to the Factory page, it showed my model, but without a price and listed it as "Not Available." Why is it doing this? -- Thomas Main thomasmain@charter.net (18 years ago, 19-Sep-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.ldd)
