Thanks for the info. I can make do with the PLIs as they are right now; I was
just curious.
I'm now running into a problem with the Minimum Camera Distance setting. The
main model of my project is built on a 32 x 32 baseplate, and I've been having a
hard time getting the sub models to render at the same scale as the main model.
Is there a way, other than trial and error, to figure out how large of a value I
need to enter to get everything the same size? I am currently rendering at 2048
x 1536, and I have Minimum Distance for both step and part images set at 50000.
I am using LPub 2.2.0.2.
Thanks again for all of your work on this software. I would not be anywhere
near where I am now in getting instructions made for this project without it.
