 | | Question about LPub PLIs —Joel Hoornbeek
|
| | | Hello Kevin (and anyone else who may be able to help me), I'm trying to finish up a building instructions project, and I was wondering if there is any way to control the width and/or height of a PLI, not in pixels but in colums or rows. If there was (...) (21 years ago, 5-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | (...) There is not a way to control PLI layout. I'll add it to the list as it is a good idea. (...) LPub supports many meta-commands from other programs, step, rotstep, etc. I added PLIST to meta-command set early on. Since then it was suggested (...) (21 years ago, 5-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad)

I would have thought that the <0,2.55207,-51858.9> was the camera distance, but taking the square root of the squares of these numbers is less than 75000, so I would have expected it to be 75000. Are you using mega-pov? Someone reported that (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad)

I'm rendering at 2048x1536, so the size that the step images end up at when the minimum distance is 75000 is different to that of the parts images when they are rendered at 640x480 and a minimum distance of 75000.
