Thanks, guys, for the quick responses. The color 256 in MLCad advice works great. As for the suggestion regarding the "finish { reflection {0.0} ambient 0.5 diffuse 1 } line, where would I insert it in the POV-ray code? I've been learning somethings (...)

Daniel, You can do whatever you want if you dare to edit the POV file before rendering. POVRay isn't that difficult to fafthom, and there are lots of things you can do that creates a better render. Like this: (URL) for example (I think I can still (...) (16 years ago, 12-May-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Actually I have one wish... it would be nice to have a way to prepend a "s\" or "48\" before the file name in name field. This could be done from the part type, or (probably simpler and more flexible) with a 3 way selector. Philo (16 years ago, 11-May-08, to lugnet.cad)
